Ingredients
¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
½ cup butter (melted)
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
½ cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
-
Make the peanut butter layer: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, confectioners’ sugar, and chunky peanut butter. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
-
Press the mixture into the pan: Press the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly and pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon.
-
Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
-
Top with chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly with a spatula.
-
Chill and set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate has set and the treats are firm.
-
Cut into squares: Once set, remove from the fridge and cut into squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Nut Butter: Substitute chunky peanut butter with smooth peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter for a different flavor.
Chocolate: Try using milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate chips for different flavors.
Add-ins: Add chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for added texture and flavor.
