Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals until fully melted.
Step 3
Add the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter to the melted butter and stir until well-combined into a dough-like texture.
Step 4
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, using the back of a spoon or spatula to smooth it out.
Step 5
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours or until the bars have fully set and the chocolate topping is firm.
Step 8
Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper and place on a cutting board. Cut into 16 squares or desired serving sizes.
Step 9
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
