Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
- In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and 1/2 cup softened butter until smooth.
- Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until fully combined.
- Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of butter.
