Ingredients
  

For the Peanut Butter Layer
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Make sure to use a smooth variety for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar This adds sweetness and helps bind the bars together.
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs These provide a crunchy base and structure to the bars.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
For the Chocolate Topping
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips For the delicious chocolate topping.
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil This helps the chocolate melt smoothly and adds a hint of flavor.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • 8x8 inch Baking Dish
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and softened butter. Use a spatula to mix these ingredients until they are well combined and form a smooth mixture.
  2. Step 2: Grease your 8x8-inch baking dish with a little butter or cooking spray. Then, take the peanut butter mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of the dish.
  3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Once melted, pour the chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
  5. Step 5: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  6. Step 6: After the bars have set, remove them from the refrigerator and cut them into squares or rectangles.

Notes

You can experiment with different types of nut butter, or even add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet-and-salty twist.
