Peanut Butter Bars (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 ½ cups of milk chocolate chips.
02 -
2 cups of powdered sugar (also called confectioners' sugar).
03 -
4 tablespoons and 1 cup of peanut butter.
04 -
2 cups of graham cracker crumbs.
05 -
1 cup of melted butter.
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix the peanut butter (1 cup), powdered sugar, melted butter, and graham cracker crumbs together in a big bowl until they're fully blended.
02 -
Press the blended mixture evenly into a 9x13-inch dish or go with a 9x9-inch dish if you'd like the bars thicker. No need to grease it.
03 -
Microwave the milk chocolate chips with the extra peanut butter (4 tablespoons) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until it’s smooth.
04 -
Once melted, pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer.
05 -
Pop it in the fridge for at least an hour, or longer, until it's firm and ready to cut into squares.
# Notes:
01 -
Sweet and simple: These bars combine peanut butter and chocolate, and you don’t even have to bake them.
02 -
Thicker bars come from using a smaller dish (9x9), while a larger dish (9x13) makes them thinner.
03 -
Refrigerating for an hour makes cutting these into neat squares much easier.
