My friend, Jessica, makes these bars every year at Christmas time, and they are a perfect treat for chocolate-peanut butter lovers. They are simple, quick, no bake, and delicious!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars (No Bake)
Makes a 9x13 pan
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
1 1/4 cup peanut butter, divided
2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs (16 full rectangles)
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Line a 9x13 pan with foil. No need to grease. (I like to use a metal pan with fairly straight sides.)
2. Stir together melted butter with 1 cup peanut butter. Add graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar. Stir until combined. Press evenly into pan.
3. Melt chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter together in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds or so. Spread evenly over peanut butter layer.
4. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. To cut with clean edges, lift bars out of pan using foil and use a sharp knife to cut into squares.
