No-bake Peanut Butter Bars

No-bake Peanut Butter Bars

Ingredients:

1 cup salted butter; melted

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 brown sugar

1 3/4 cups powdered sugar

1 cup peanut butter + 4 Tbsp

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 (11 oz) bag of milk chocolate chips

Directions:

In a large bowl combine all of the above ingredients minus the chocolate chips and 4 Tbsp of peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper and pour peanut butter mixture into your pan and spread out into an even layer. 

Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl on 50% power for 1-2 minutes in 30 second increments stirring in between. Once the chocolate chips are melted stir in 4 Tbsp of peanut butter. Pour chocolate over the peanut butter mixture and spread evenly. To even out the chocolate, tap your pan on the counter gently a few times. 

Refrigerate bars for at least one hour. Pull parchment paper out of pan for easy cutting
