Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Grease an 8x8-inch pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving extra parchment on the edges to easily lift the bars out later.

Step 2

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.

Step 3

Stir the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter into the melted butter until fully combined. The mixture should resemble a thick dough.

Step 4

Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, ensuring it is smooth and compact.

Step 5

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter. Melt them together in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 6

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.

Step 7

Refrigerate the pan for about 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and the chocolate topping is set.

Step 8

Once set, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
