Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (11 oz) bag milk chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Assemble the Base Layer: Pour the peanut butter mixture into a 9×13-inch pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Melt the Chocolate: Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until fully melted.
-
Add the Chocolate Layer: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly with a spatula.
-
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the bars for 1 hour or until set. Once chilled, cut into bars and serve.
Notes
- Even layers: Use the flat side of a measuring cup to press the peanut butter layer evenly into the pan.
- Melting chocolate: Stir the chocolate frequently while microwaving to avoid overheating. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler for more control.
- Clean cuts: For neat slices, run a sharp knife under warm water, dry it, and then cut through the bars. Repeat as needed between cuts.
