- Cream together the peanut butter and butter until no more streaks of butter show through.
- Then stir in the powdered sugar until you can no longer see it.
- Next stir in the graham crackers and then press the dough into your parchment lined baking dish, and set aside.

Notes
- Pan Size: I prefer an 8-inch square pan because it makes thicker bars, but you can use a 9-inch square baking pan instead if you prefer.
- Store: Keep the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- Freeze: Freeze the bars in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Thaw frozen bars in the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature before eating.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the bars in advance and store them in the fridge until ready to serve, making them perfect for planning ahead for events.
