CALORIES 481 kcal

INGREDIENTS

  

• ¾ cup butter, melted
• 2 cups graham crackers, crushed
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1¼ cups creamy peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 2½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

 

• Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper, set aside. 
• Using either a stand mixer or a handheld mixer, combine the melted butter, powdered sugar, and graham crackers. 
• Mix in the 1¼ cups of creamy peanut butter, just until well incorporated. 
• Evenly spread the peanut butter mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. 
• In a heat-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the remaining 3 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter. Heat for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the peanut butter and chocolate are smooth. 
• Spread the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base. 
• Cut the servings before you put the bars into the refrigerator. (The bars cut much easier this way).
• Chill the bars for 1 hour.
• Let the bars sit 10 to 15 minutes, at room temperature, before serving. 

NOTES

• You can either buy graham cracker crumbs or buy the crackers and crush them yourself in a food processor or with a rolling pin.
• It’s easier to slice the mixture into bars if you do it before you put it in the fridge.
