3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a large bowl until well combined. Add the confectioners' sugar and peanut butter, and stir until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to spread the mixture into a greased 8-inch square baking dish, pressing lightly to form an even layer. Editor's Tip: For easier mixing, warm the peanut butter and butter together and stir until smooth. Then, stir in the graham cracker crumbs and confectioners' sugar. After pressing the mixture into the dish, pop it in the fridge for 10 to 20 minutes so it can firm up before adding the chocolate layer.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler until smooth, stirring occasionally. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly with an offset or rubber spatula. Editor's Tip: To amp up the peanut flavor, melt 2 to 4 tablespoons of peanut butter with the chocolate chips.
Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then cut the bars into squares. Return to the fridge and chill for another 30 minutes until the chocolate topping and peanut butter layer are firm. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Editor's Tip: If you used a natural or drippy-style peanut butter, the bars may need a little more time to set. Letting them chill longer ensures clean slices.
