Scale
For the Crust:

- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
For the Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter. Mix until smooth and well blended. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup peanut butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Cut into bars before serving.
Notes
- Bars can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for easy make-ahead treats.
- For a crunchy variation, use crunchy peanut butter or stir in crushed pretzels.
