Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) crushed graham crackers
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer:

    • In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of peanut butter, melted butter, powdered sugar, and crushed graham crackers.
    • Stir until well combined and smooth.
    • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Chocolate Topping:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.
    • Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
  3. Assemble the Bars:

    • Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  4. Chill and Set:

    • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the bars are firm and set.
  5. Cut and Serve:

    • Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
    • Serve and enjoy!


Notes

  • Add a crunch: Use crunchy peanut butter or add chopped peanuts to the peanut butter layer for added texture.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
