Ingredients
  

Base Layer Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, based on preference)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (coconut oil for a vegan twist)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (can substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier option)
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (feel free to use gluten-free options)
Topping Ingredients
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dark, milk, or a sugar-free choice)
Flavor Enhancers
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Always a good idea!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your pan by grabbing an 8×8-inch baking dish and lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter and melted butter until creamy.
  3. Stir in the powdered sugar gradually, followed by the graham cracker crumbs, until well combined.
  4. Press the mixture into the bottom of the lined baking dish, spreading evenly.
Chocolate Layer
  1. Melt the chocolate chips either in the microwave or over a double boiler and stir until smooth.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed peanut butter mixture and spread evenly.
  3. Allow the chocolate layer to set at room temperature or refrigerate to speed up the setting process.
Final Layer
  1. Spread another layer of peanut butter on top of the set chocolate layer.
  2. Optional: Sprinkle with chopped nuts or coconut flakes.
  3. Refrigerate the entire dish for at least an hour before serving.
