Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup salted butter
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup peanut butter (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the sides are covered to make it easy to lift the bars out later.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 15-20 second increments until fully melted.

Step 3

Add the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of peanut butter to the melted butter. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking dish to create the base layer. Use a spatula or your hands to spread and compact it tightly.

Step 5

In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and melted.

Step 6

Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the base layer, using a spatula to spread it into an even layer.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once set, remove the bars from the dish by lifting the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut into 16 squares or smaller pieces, as desired.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Serve chilled and enjoy!
