Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Layer
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter, divided
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
Chocolate Topping
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and graham cracker crumbs. Mix thoroughly until a thick, even dough forms.
- Form Base Layer: Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into a parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking dish to create a firm base layer.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Combine Chocolate and Peanut Butter: Stir the remaining 1 cup of peanut butter into the melted chocolate mixture until smooth and completely blended.
- Top the Bars: Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture evenly over the graham cracker base and spread with a spatula.
- Chill: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate topping is set and firm.
- Serve: Once chilled and firm, cut into 24 bars and serve. For cleaner slicing, run a sharp knife under hot water before cutting.
Notes
- For easier slicing, warm your knife under hot water before cutting to achieve smooth edges.
- Store bars in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer preservation.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, feel free to substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of milk chocolate chips.
