Ingredients
  

PEANUT BUTTER LAYER:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • cups graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full-sheets of graham crackers)
  • cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

CHOCOLATE LAYER:

  • 6 ounces 70% cacao dark chocolate, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8x8-inch pan with foil or parchment paper and set it aside.

MAKE THE PEANUT BUTTER LAYER:

  • In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar. Stir in 1 cup of peanut butter, then press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.

MAKE THE CHOCOLATE LAYER:

  • In a small bowl melt the chopped chocolate and 3 tablespoons peanut butter in the microwave or on the stove in a double boiler. Stir until smooth. Spread evenly over the peanut butter layer.
  • Chill the bars in the refrigerator until completely firm, at least 2 hours. Allow them to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting. Served chilled. (Setting them out for a few hours at room temperature for serving is OK).
  • Cover leftover bars tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
