Description
Simple, quick bars made with a peanut butter base and topped with a chocolate layer, requiring no oven time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup peanut butter, powdered sugar, and salt until smooth. Spread this peanut butter mixture evenly over the crust layer.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares before serving.
Notes
- For cleaner cutting, chill the bars for an extra 30 minutes before slicing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
