Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

Topping:

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter plus 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  • Line an 8"x8" (20cm x 20cm) baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Using a rubber spatula, mix in the powdered and brown sugars. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and then the creamy peanut butter' mix until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  • Spread the batter in an even layer in the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, melt the chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir after each interval until smooth. Spread the chocolate over the peanut butter bars.
  • Heat the remaining peanut butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds (it helps with the pouring). Drizzle the peanut butter over the chocolate, creating 5-6 straight lines. Rotate the pan 90°C (194°F) and, using a toothpick, drag it through the lines in both directions to create the pattern.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting.

Notes

The bars will keep up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
