Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 3.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (for frosting)
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter until just liquefied (about 30-40 seconds).
Step 3
Add 1.5 cups of creamy peanut butter to the melted butter and stir until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
Mix in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until incorporated.
Step 5
Fold in 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs and mix until the consistency resembles a thick dough.
Step 6
Transfer the peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it into an even layer with a spatula or the back of a measuring cup. Set aside.
Step 7
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 0.25 cup of unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Step 8
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Step 10
Once chilled, use the parchment overhang to lift the squares out of the dish. Slice into 16 even squares and serve.
Step 11
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
