Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure there is some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Mix until fully combined and the mixture resembles a thick dough.

Step 4

Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish using the back of a spatula or your hands.

Step 5

In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted (about 1-2 minutes total).

Step 6

Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the peanut butter layer in the baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate topping is firm and the bars have set.

Step 8

Once set, remove the block of peanut butter squares from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.

Step 9

Cut into 24 squares using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
