Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter (for chocolate layer)

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar.

Step 3

Stir in the creamy peanut butter (1 cup) and melted butter until the mixture is fully combined and resembles a thick dough.

Step 4

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer. Smooth it out with the back of a spoon or a spatula.

Step 5

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is melted and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Chill the dish in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until the chocolate is set.

Step 8

Once the bars are firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the dish. Slice into 16 bars using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve cold or at room temperature and enjoy!
