Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (for chocolate layer)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Base: Begin by lining a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is thick yet pliable. Press this mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish, ensuring that it is even across the whole surface.
- Create the Chocolate Layer: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips together with 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter until smooth. Pour this rich mixture over the peanut butter base and spread it evenly.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for at least 2 hours to set properly. Cut into squares or rectangles, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Store the peanut butter bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
