Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Peanut butter (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of peanut butter. Mix well until fully combined and smooth.
Step 4
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch dish, creating a firm and even layer.
Step 5
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the dish. Spread evenly using a spatula to create a smooth top.
Step 7
Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until firm and set.
Step 8
Once set, cut into squares or bars and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
