Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave until fully liquid, about 30-45 seconds.

Step 3

Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and peanut butter. Mix until well combined and a thick dough-like consistency is achieved.

Step 4

Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer using a spatula or your hands.

Step 5

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. Heat in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

Step 6

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula to cover the surface completely.

Step 7

Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours (or until the bars are firm) to set the layers.

Step 8

Once set, remove the bars from the fridge and use a sharp knife to cut them into 16 squares or your desired serving size.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy these rich, peanut buttery, chocolatey treats!
