Ingredients

• 12 sheets Graham crackers
• 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

Place a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom of the dish, breaking them as necessary to fit.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and 1 cup of peanut butter together, stirring frequently until smooth.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the powdered sugar until fully combined. The mixture should become thick and paste-like.

Step 5

Spread half of the peanut butter mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers using a spatula.

Step 6

Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the peanut butter mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 7

Spread the remaining peanut butter mixture evenly over the second layer of graham crackers.

Step 8

Top with one final layer of graham crackers, again pressing lightly.

Step 9

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the remaining 0.5 cup of peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

Step 10

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top layer of graham crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 11

Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top of the chocolate for garnish and added crunch.

Step 12

Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.

Step 13

Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the bars from the dish and place them on a cutting board.

Step 14

Cut into 12 equal bars with a sharp knife and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
