Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Topping:
- ¼ cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Melt 1 cup unsalted butter completely in a large microwave-safe bowl at 50% power for 45-60 seconds.
- Mix 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 cup creamy peanut butter with the melted butter until your mixture becomes a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring sides are slightly overlapping for easy removal.
- Press your peanut butter mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan using the back of a spatula.
- Combine 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips and ¼ cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the chocolate mixture at 50% power for 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth and glossy.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over your peanut butter base, using a clean spatula to spread it evenly to all corners.
- Refrigerate the pan for 2 hours or freeze for 45 minutes until the bars are completely set and firm.
- Remove the bars from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean to slice into clean, precise bars.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and a smoother graham cracker base.
- Ensure the parchment paper hangs slightly over the pan edges for easy removal of the bars.
- Stir the chocolate and peanut butter mixture gently to prevent burning and achieve a glossy finish.
- Let the bars sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cutting to prevent cracking and get clean slices.
