Ingredients
- ¾ cup 200g creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons 57g unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ – 2 cups 160-226g powdered sugar
- 10-12 graham cracker sheets
- 2 cups 340g chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons shortening
Instructions
- Line a 9×9 inch square pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Beat together the peanut butter, butter, salt, and 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar with a hand mixer until smooth. The mixture should be crumbly but not sticky.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
- Place half the graham cracker sheets on the bottom of the prepared pan and spread ⅓ of the melted chocolate over the top.
- Scoop out balls of the peanut butter mixture, flatten them, and place them evenly over the chocolate. Smooth out carefully.
- Spread another ⅓ of the chocolate over the peanut butter layer, then layer with the remaining graham crackers. Spread the rest of the chocolate on top.
- Chill the bars for at least 1 hour to set. Slice into squares and store in the refrigerator.
