Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Prepare the Base:

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, melted butter, and 1 cup of peanut butter. Mix until well combined and the mixture is smooth.

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat spatula to smooth the surface.

Make the Chocolate Topping:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.

Chill the Bars:

Place the baking pan in the refrigerator and allow the bars to chill for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm and set.
