Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup (65g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 pinch (1g) fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  2. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until a thick, sandy dough forms.
  3. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into a parchment-lined 9x9 pan, ensuring the corners are packed tight.
  4. Combine chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  5. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring vigorously between each burst, until the mixture is glossy and fully incorporated.
  6. Stir in the pinch of salt to cut through the richness.
  7. Pour the chocolate mixture over the pressed base, spreading it with a spatula until the surface is level.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
  9. Lift the parchment paper out of the pan and slice into 24 uniform bars using a sharp knife.
