Ingredients
- 1 cup (melted) unsalted butter
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup (plus 1/4 cup for topping) creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of peanut butter. Stir everything together until fully incorporated.
Step 2
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish to form the base layer.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Step 4
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 5
Refrigerate the dish for 2-3 hours, or until the bars are firm and the chocolate has set.
Step 6
Once set, remove the bars from the dish by lifting the parchment paper or cutting them directly in the pan. Slice into 24 squares and serve cold or at room temperature.
Step 7
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
