Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

  • 1 cup (240g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar
  • 2 cups (200g) graham cracker crumbs

Chocolate Topping

  • 1½ cups (260g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (120g) creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Stir until the mixture is well incorporated and smooth, forming a thick dough-like consistency.
  2. Press Mixture into Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Evenly press the peanut butter mixture firmly into the bottom of the dish to create a smooth, compact base layer.
  3. Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semisweet chocolate chips and ½ cup of creamy peanut butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each session, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted without lumps.
  4. Top the Bars: Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the pressed base layer. Spread evenly using a spatula to cover the surface completely.
  5. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled bars for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is firm and set properly.
  6. Slice and Serve: Remove from the refrigerator and let the bars sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Then cut into squares for serving and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture; chunky peanut butter can alter the consistency.
  • For easier slicing, dip the knife in hot water and wipe it clean between cuts to get clean edges.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
  • These bars are rich and high in calories; enjoy them in moderation as an occasional treat.
