Ingredients
- 2 cups (crushed into fine crumbs) graham crackers
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.75 cups (melted) unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup additional creamy peanut butter
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to make it easier to remove the bars later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and powdered sugar.
Step 3
Add the melted butter and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter to the mixture. Stir until well combined and resembles a dough-like consistency.
Step 4
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the base layer.
Step 5
Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the additional 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the graham cracker layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly over the top.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is firm.
Step 8
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares or rectangles.
Step 9
Serve chilled and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
