Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Additional creamy peanut butter (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar.
Step 3
Add the creamy peanut butter and melted butter to the bowl. Mix well until a thick, uniform dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or your hands.
Step 5
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of additional peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the pan and spread it into an even layer with a spatula.
Step 7
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate is fully set.
Step 8
Once set, remove the peanut butter squares from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
