Instructions

Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons peanut butter in 30-second increments, stirring between, until smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

Use creamy peanut butter for best texture; natural peanut butter may separate.
Bars can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 2 months.
Gluten-free graham crackers can be used as a substitute.
Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor if using unsalted butter.
