Ingredients
Scale
Here’s the lineup of simple ingredients that come together to make these bars a staple in our home:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (for topping)
If you’re out of graham crackers, feel free to substitute with crushed digestive biscuits. And if you’re a fan of a little extra crunch, try chunky peanut butter instead of creamy.
Instructions
Ready to get started? Follow these simple steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Add in 2 cups of powdered sugar and 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs. Mix thoroughly until you have a thick, even dough.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring an even layer.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate is firm.
- Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!
The key here is patience—letting them chill completely makes slicing and serving a breeze.
