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

Prepare an 8-inch or 9-inch square dish by lining it with parchment paper or foil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with 1¼ cups (330g) of peanut butter. Use a handheld electric mixer to blend on medium speed until the mixture is fully combined. Alternatively, you can whisk it together by hand.
Incorporate the powdered sugar into the peanut butter mixture. Continue mixing on medium speed until everything is well combined, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs using a silicone spatula. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and spread it into an even layer. Place it in the refrigerator while you prepare the chocolate topping.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, mix the chocolate chips with the remaining ¼ cup (66g) of peanut butter. Heat in the microwave at full power in 30 to 40 second intervals, stirring in between, until only a few small pieces of chocolate remain (approximately 2 minutes). Stir until the mixture is completely smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base and spread it into an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set. Once set, cut into bars and enjoy.

Notes

TECHNIQUE TIP: Ensure the melted butter is slightly cooled before mixing with other ingredients to prevent a runny texture.

STORAGE: Store the Peanut Butter Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Serve at room temperature for best flavor.
