Peanut Butter Bars (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup butter, melted.
02 - 2 cups graham cracker crumbs.
03 - 2 cups confectioners’ sugar (powdered sugar).
04 - 1 cup + 4 tablespoons peanut butter.
05 - 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips.

Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of peanut butter until well combined.
02 - Spread the mixture evenly into the base of a non-greased 9x13-inch dish (or 9x9-inch dish for thicker bars).
03 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the remaining 4 tablespoons of peanut butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
04 - Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter base.
05 - Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm, before slicing into squares.

Notes:

01 - These no-bake bars combine creamy peanut butter and chocolate for an easy, sweet treat.
02 - Using a 9x9-inch dish will create thicker bars, while a 9x13-inch dish results in thinner ones.
03 - Refrigerating the bars for at least 1 hour ensures a firm texture for clean slicing.
