Description

Delicious and easy-to-make peanut butter bars with a chocolate topping.


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

  1. Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square dish with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and 1¼ cups (330g) of peanut butter. Mix on medium speed until fully combined.
  3. Add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and mix on medium speed until fully combined.
  4. Add the graham cracker crumbs and fold them into the mixture with a silicone spatula. Transfer to the lined dish and smooth into an even layer.
  5. Store in the refrigerator while you make the chocolate topping.
  6. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the remaining ¼ cup (66g) of peanut butter. Cook at 100% power for 30 to 40 second bursts, stirring between each increment, until smooth.
  7. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base and smooth into an even layer.
  8. Chill for at least 2 hours for the bars to set. Cut into bars and enjoy.

Notes

  • Chill the bars in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Use a sharp chef’s knife for cutting clean slices.
  • Warming the knife in hot water can help slice the cold bars more easily.
