Ingredients

• Base Layer:
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1¾ cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Chocolate Layer:
• 1 (11-ounce) package of milk chocolate chips (semi-sweet preferred)

Preparation Method

1. Combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.

2. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and pour the peanut butter mixture into it, pressing it down evenly. Refrigerate while preparing the chocolate.

3. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth.

4. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.

5. Refrigerate for at least one hour to set the chocolate.

6. Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper and slice into even bars. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips and Conclusion

For added crunch, use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy. The bits of peanuts provide a delightful texture contrast.
Enhance the flavor profile by sprinkling a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate layer before it sets.
To ensure the bars don’t stick, always line your pan with parchment paper or foil. This also makes cleanup a breeze.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for longer storage.
