Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Confectioners' sugar
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make removing the candy easier later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1 cup of unsalted butter (softened) until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Gradually mix in 2 cups of confectioners' sugar and 1.5 cups of graham cracker crumbs. Stir well until fully incorporated and the mixture resembles a thick dough.
Step 4
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula or clean hands.
Step 5
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of milk chocolate chips. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly, covering the entire surface.
Step 7
Optional: Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt evenly over the melted chocolate for added flavor and texture.
Step 8
Allow the candy to set by refrigerating it for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate hardens completely.
Step 9
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the candy out of the baking dish. Cut into small squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
Step 10
Store the candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled and enjoy!
