Instructions

Make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
Prepare the peanut butter layer: In a separate bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
Make the chocolate topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread it out evenly.
Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Slice into bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
You can use crunchy peanut butter if you want some added texture.
Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a salty-sweet twist.
