Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquified (about 20-30 seconds).
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Stir together until a cohesive dough forms.
Step 4
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating a flat and compact layer for the base of the bars.
Step 5
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base layer, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
Step 7
Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate has set and the bars are firm.
Step 8
Once firm, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper, and use a sharp knife to cut them into 16 equal squares.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
