Ingredients
2 cups graham crackers, crushed
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter (for the topping)
Instructions
Combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, 1 cup of peanut butter, and powdered sugar in a large bowl.
Stir the ingredients until the mixture is uniform and thick.
Press the mixture evenly into a square baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave using low power intervals to prevent scorching.
Stir 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into the melted chocolate for extra shine.
Spread the chocolate mixture smoothly over the base using a spatula.
Refrigerate the pan for at least two hours until the topping is firm to the touch.
Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper edges and slice into 16 even bars.
Notes
Ensure you sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps for a smoother texture. For best results, use a high-quality creamy peanut butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain the perfect firm consistency.
