Ingredients
For the Base:
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled (210g)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (300g)
- 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar (210g)
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs (240g)
For the chocolate topping:
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips (280g)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (65g)
Instructions
- Line a 8x8 or 9x9 dish with parchment paper or foil.
- Crush graham crackers in a ziploc bag using a rolling pin or blitz using a food processor.
- Melt butter in a large bowl add peanut butter and mix until smooth.
- Beat in powdered sugar then fold in the crumbs. Transfer to lined dish and smooth.
- Melt chocolate and peanut butter, pour over the peanut butter base, smooth then chill for at least 90 minutes.
- Cut into bars and enjoy.
Notes
- You'll need to use an 8x8 or 9x9 square dish for nice thick bars.
- Make sure to line your baking pan or square dish with parchment paper so you can easily remove the bars after chilling.
- Make sure to use creamy peanut butter such as Jif or Skippy. Oily peanut butter may stop the base from setting and will change the texture.
- Use a hand whisk to incorporate the butter and peanut butter so you avoid any lumps.
- You can use the stovetop or microwave to melt the chocolate. If using a stovetop do this in a bowl over a pot of simmering water.
- The peanut butter gives the chocolate a creamier texture once set. This really helps when cutting the bars so the chocolate doesn't crack.
- Make sure to let the bars chill in the fridge for at least 90 minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can make them the night before and let them chill overnight.
- To cut the bars use a sharp or serrated knife.
- Will keep well in the fridge for 5-7 days or can be frozen.
