Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 45-60 seconds in the microwave). Stir until fully melted.

Step 3

Add the creamy peanut butter to the melted butter and mix until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until a thick and uniform dough-like consistency forms.

Step 5

Transfer the peanut butter mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to evenly press the mixture into a compact, flat layer.

Step 6

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 7

Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top to enhance the chocolate and peanut butter flavors.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pan for about 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set and the squares are firm.

Step 10

Once set, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice into 16 squares.

Step 11

Store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
