• 1 pound powdered sugar

• 1½ cups creamy peanut butter

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

For the Chocolate Topping

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter

 Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

2. Make the Peanut Butter Layer

In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and graham cracker crumbs. Stir until fully combined into a thick, smooth mixture.

3. Press into the Pan

Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Press it firmly and evenly into the bottom using your hands or a flat surface like a measuring cup. Smooth the top.

4. Chill the Base

Place the pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the chocolate topping.

5. Make the Chocolate Topping

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Heat in 15-second intervals if needed.

6. Add the Chocolate Layer

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chilled peanut butter base. Spread evenly across the top.

7. Chill Until Set

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully firm.

8. Slice and Serve

Lift the bars from the pan using parchment paper. Cut into small squares using a sharp knife. Clean the knife between cuts for neat edges.
