Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • handful of chopped unsalted or salted peanuts (for the peanut butter layer and for the chocolate topper)
  • salt (optional)
Instructions
  1. Stir together melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, ½ cup peanut butter. Press into 9x9-inch pan. Chill while working on next step.
  2. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter slowly (microwave in intervals of 20 to 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each time until all melted). Spread this on the chilled peanut butter layer. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts. A tiny bit of salt sprinkled on top is also good if you use unsalted peanuts. I prefer unsalted peanuts and adding salt so I can control how much saltiness there is.
  3. Chill for at least one hour before cutting into squares and serving. Store in the fridge.
