Peanut Butter Bars
Servings 16 bars
Peanut Butter Bars are a classic, 5-ingredient dessert recipe that can be made in less than 10 minutes! Made with a blend of peanut butter, graham crackers, powdered sugar, butter, and chocolate!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter*
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 12 whole graham crackers
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Begin by lining an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add your graham crackers to a food processor and pulsing into a crumb or a large Ziploc bag and crushing with a rolling pin until fine crumb forms.
- Next, melt the butter in the microwave. Then add the butter, graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, and powdered sugar to a medium mixing bowl and use a rubber spatula or hand mixer to combine.
- Spread the mixture out evenly in the prepared pan.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave on 30-second intervals until melted, stirring between each one.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the peanut butter mixture and spread to cover. Let sit until chocolate sets, then slice and serve.
Notes
- These bars are very soft but still sliceable and can be transferred with a spatula.
- These can get oily if they sit for a long period of time. I recommend storing in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Use pieces of parchment paper between the slices.
- If you can't find chocolate melting wafers you can use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips instead.
- Crunchy Peanut Butter may also be used.
- My husband prefers these without the butter which is the only change from my peanut butter balls recipe.
