If you grew up in the ’80s or ’90s, then you probably remember these sticky, gooey gems of sweetness, as they were served in cafeterias all over.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Going Step by Step
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and creamy peanut butter. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Make sure to spread it out evenly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- If desired, sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top for an extra crunch and flavor.
- Chill the Peanut Butter Bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate has set.
- Once chilled and set, cut into desired serving sizes.
- Give it a try and enjoy!
Tips
- For a twist, try using crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for added texture.
- Experiment with different toppings such as shredded coconut or drizzled caramel for added flavor.
- Make sure to store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
We are sure you are a perfect cook! Nonetheless, do remember to pay attention to the amount of Peanut Butter Bars you consume: it should always be modified based on the strength of your product and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so it is strongly recommended to start with one portion of a serving. After one or two hours, listen to your body and decide whether to consume more. It is not recommended to drive or operate any machinery when taking edibles. Use responsibly!
