Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and unsalted butter. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
Add the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs to the melted mixture. Stir well until fully combined and a thick dough forms.
Step 4
Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Step 5
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth top layer.
Step 7
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the candy is firm and set.
Step 8
Once set, lift the candy out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares or rectangles and serve.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
