Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter (about 1 minute in the microwave). Let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Mix in the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. The mixture will form a thick and slightly crumbly dough.
Step 4
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating a smooth and firm layer. Set aside.
Step 5
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring complete coverage.
Step 7
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate is set and firm.
Step 8
Once set, remove the dessert from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut it into 16 square pieces.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
