Ingredients
  

For the Base:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base

  • In a medium sized bowl take melted butter, 1 cup peanut butter, powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs and mix together. Mix fully and make a smooth mixture.

Form the Bars

  • In a greased or parchment paper-lined 9x9-inch pan, press the peanut butter mixture evenly.

Make the Chocolate Topping

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter and place in the microwave. Microwave for 20 seconds on high, then take it out and give it a good stir. Repeat until fully melted and smooth.

Add the Topping

  • After the peanut butter mixture has been cooled and set, pour the melted chocolate mixture on top, smoothing it out to cover completely.

Chill

  • Refrigerate the pan for 1-2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.

Serve

  • After chilling, the bars are cut into squares and served. You can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for as long as a week.
