Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter

  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  7. Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares.

  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Feel free to use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
