One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, melted butter, and 3/4 cup peanut butter until well mixed.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the crust layer and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Cut into bars and serve.
A little kitchen know-how
Chill bars at least 2 hours to firm up fully; cut with a warm knife for clean edges.
Storage & leftovers
Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; bring to room temperature before serving for softer texture.
