Peanut Butter Bars
Simple and decadent peanut butter bars, evolved from a recipe I've been making since my childhood.
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Baking Dish (8x8 or 9x9)
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 11 Tbsp Butter One stick + 3 Tbsp
- 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 1½ Cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 Cup Chocolate Chips I used peanut butter and chocolate chips for this one.
Instructions
- In your sauce pan, melt 1 stick of butter.
- Add the peanut butter and melt it, stirring constantly to mix it with the butter until smooth.
- Turn off the heat, then add the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Mix to combine.
- Grease and line your baking dish with parchment paper (to make the bars easier to remove when they're done.)
- Add the peanut butter mix to the baking sheet and smooth out.
- Melt the remaining 3 Tbsp of butter in the sauce pan.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir until they're melted and it's mixed together.
- Pour the chocolate over the top of the peanut butter mixture and spread it evenly.
- Chill the bars for at least 1 hour, or until cool and solid.
- Keep them refridgerated! You can let them warm up a bit to make cutting them easier, though.
