Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup smooth peanut butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  2. Step 2: Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared pan, forming a smooth layer.
  3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted and glossy.
  4. Step 4: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly with a spatula.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours until firm. Cut into 1-inch squares before serving.
