Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter to ensure easy removal of the bars.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter by microwaving it in 15-20 second increments until fully melted.
Step 3
Add the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter to the melted butter. Stir until fully combined into a smooth mixture.
Step 4
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a firm base layer.
Step 5
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and 0.25 cup of creamy peanut butter (for the topping). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the base layer in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours or until the bars are firm and the topping has set.
Step 8
Remove the bars from the dish by lifting them out with the parchment paper (if used) or slicing them directly in the dish.
Step 9
Cut into 24 squares or desired serving sizes. Serve and enjoy!
