Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter (for topping layer)
• 1 pinch Flaky sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, melted butter, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and has a dough-like consistency.

Step 3

Press the peanut butter graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create the first layer.

Step 4

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

Step 5

Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the graham cracker layer and spread evenly with a spatula to form the second layer.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top for a hint of contrast.

Step 7

Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the layers are firm and set.

Step 8

Once firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares or as desired.

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
