1 cup Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Butter (softened)
2 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 cups Chocolate Chips
Optional: 1/2 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
Instructions
-
Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer: In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. If desired, mix in graham cracker crumbs for added texture.
-
Assemble the Bars: Press the peanut butter mixture into a lined 9x9-inch baking pan, spreading it out evenly to form a solid layer.
-
Add the Chocolate Topping: Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. You can add a tablespoon of butter or coconut oil for a smoother finish. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer.
-
Set and Serve: Refrigerate the bars for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has fully set. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes

For a crunchy texture, use crunchy peanut butter or add chopped nuts to the peanut butter layer.

You can swap the semi-sweet chocolate for milk or dark chocolate to suit your preference.
-
Ensure to refrigerate for the recommended time for the best consistency and texture.
