Retro Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares
A classic take on the no bake chocolate peanut butter bar everyone loves
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 2 sleeves of graham crackers)
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup butter - melted
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 Tbsp smooth peanut butter
Instructions
- In a large micro-wave safe bowl, melt the two sticks of butter. Stir in the cup of peanut butter, then add the graham cracker crumbs and confectioners' sugar until well-blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 8x8" baking pan.
- Place chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth (usually about 2 mins total). Spread mixture over crust.
- Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes before cutting into 16 squares.
Notes
This recipe is based on my childhood favorite summer treat, the no bake chocolate peanut butter bars I used to make with friends. It's a great recipe to make with kids, and comes together with only a handful of pantry ingredients.
