Ingredients
- 3 cups vanilla wafers
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 ¼ cups creamy peanut butter divided
- ¾ cup salted butter, melted (1 ½ stick)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the vanilla wafers in a food processor and pulse until crushed into fine crumbs, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the powdered sugar to food processor and pulse 1-2 times until combined.
- Add 1 cup of the divided peanut butter, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the food processor and blend together until a smooth, thick dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, then scoop in the peanut butter dough.
- Press the dough down into an even layer in the prepared pan, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator to chill.
- Next, place the cup chocolate chips and the remaining ¼ cup of creamy peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat for 60 seconds and then stir until smooth. If it doesn’t smooth out completely, you can continue heating in 10-second increments, stirring well each time, until smooth. Do not overheat.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the top of the peanut butter layer and use a spatula to smooth it into an even layer.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place the pan into the refrigerator and allow to chill until set, about 3-4 hours.
- Once completely set, cut into squares and serve.
