Peanut Butter Squares
Indulge in the creamy, nutty goodness of peanut butter and chocolate!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2 ⅓ cups graham cracker crumbs about 18 long rectangular crackers
- 1 3/4 cups peanut butter divided
- 2 cups powdered sugar confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by lining an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for about 1 minute and set aside.
- Place the graham crackers in a large zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of peanut butter with the melted butter, stirring until well mixed.
- Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar, mixing until combined, then add the second cup and mix again.
- Fold in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is thick and moldable.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the lined pan, using a second piece of parchment paper to smooth it out.
- In another bowl, combine the chocolate chips and ¼ cup of peanut butter, microwaving at half power and stirring every 30 seconds until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly.
- Refrigerate for 1.5 hours to chill.
- Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment paper, score the top into squares, and cut along the lines.
- Serve cold and enjoy!
