Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers (optional)
Steps to Prepare
Start by lining a baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. In a saucepan, melt the butter and peanut butter over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined. If using, fold in crushed graham crackers for added texture.
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly. Place the dish in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips with vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Once the peanut butter layer is firm, pour the melted chocolate over it, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Return the dish to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is set. Once cooled, cut into bars and serve alongside a steaming cup of latte for a truly indulgent experience.
