Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled (226g)
- 1½ cups creamy peanut butter divided (396g)
- 1¾ cups powdered sugar (210g)
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (240g)
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips (270g)
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square dish with parchment paper or foil.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and 1¼ cups (330g) of peanut butter. Mix on medium speed until fully combined.
