Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 3 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (for chocolate layer)

Directions

Step 1

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 a dense dough forms.

Step 2

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish to form the base layer.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.

Step 5

Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is firm and set.

Step 6

Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the entire slab out of the baking dish and place it on a cutting board.

Step 7

Slice into 16 equal-sized bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
