Ingredients
Scale
For the Peanut Butter Layer:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
For the Chocolate Layer:
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and creamy peanut butter.
- Mix until well blended. The mixture should be thick and crumbly.
- Press the mixture evenly into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth it out.
Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Layer
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and ¼ cup of creamy peanut butter.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate and peanut butter are fully melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
Step 3: Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Once set, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy the delicious combination of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate!
Notes
- Chilling Time: Make sure to give the bars enough time to set in the refrigerator. This helps the layers to firm up nicely.
- Cutting the Bars: For cleaner cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts
