Ingredients
2cups graham cracker crumbs
1cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1cup powdered sugar
1/2cup unsalted butter, melted
2cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips
1teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
Instructions
Prepare the Base: In a spacious bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and melted butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth and fully blended. The mixture should be firm but pliable.
Shape the Bars: Press the mixture evenly into a parchment-lined 9x9-inch baking pan. Flatten the surface using a spatula or the back of a spoon for an even finish.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals until smooth.
Coat the Bars: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
Chill and Cut: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the chocolate is firm. Take the mixture out of the pan and slice it into bars or squares.
Serve: Let the bars come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
