INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 cups (at least) confectioners sugar
1 cup peanut butter (plus an extra spoonful for chocolate topping)
1 to 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips melted
Let's do this.
1. Make sure you got your ingredients
2. Put graham crackers in a freezer bag and crush them using a rolling pin or pound on the bag with your fists
like I did before someone suggested a rolling pin...
3. Mix graham cracker crumbs with peanut butter and melted butter
4. The best way to mix this is using your hands...its fast AND fun. It should kinda look gross....
5. Add confectioners sugar and hand mix.
6. Mixture should stick to itself rather than you - add more confectioners sugar to get the right consistency.
It's ok if you feel like you're adding a TON of sugar...
7. Layer a pan (or anything square shaped) with wax paper to make removal of bars easy. Size of pan really
doesn't matter. If you want your bars thick, use a smaller pan but if you prefer thinner, flatter bars use a
larger pan
8. Melt your chocolate chips with a spoonful of peanut butter. I usually do a heaping full of peanut butter and
melt in the microwave but you can use as much or as little peanut butter and melt this anyway you'd
like!
9. Pour melted chocolate over the peanut butter/graham mixture and spread evenly.
10. You can put these in the freezer or the refrigerator. (I usually freeze first, cut bars, then refrigerate).
Wherever you put these, DO NOT let them get too hard to slice into squares. Chocolate should
harden but not all the way, just enough to take a butter knife and slice into somewhat even squares,
and then placed back in the refrigerator.
Keep refrigerated because if you don't, the bottom layer of the bars will melt and get too sticky. Plus they taste better cold :)
Enjoy!!
