# Ingredients:
→ Peanut Butter Bottom
01 -
480 ml smooth peanut butter
02 -
115 g unsalted butter, melted
03 -
240 g powdered sugar
04 -
60 g crushed graham crackers
05 -
5 ml vanilla
06 -
1.25 ml salt
→ Top Chocolate Layer
07 -
85 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
08 -
30 ml smooth peanut butter
09 -
15 g unsalted butter
# Instructions:
01 -
Stick the pan in the fridge for two hours or until you see the chocolate set nice and firm.
02 -
Grab the slab by the parchment, lift it out, then cut into 24 pieces with a hot, sharp knife.
03 -
Use your spatula to cover the peanut butter base with the melted chocolate mixture.
04 -
Pop chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter into a microwaveable bowl. Nuke it for 30 seconds at a time, mixing between bursts, until totally smooth.
05 -
Smoosh the peanut butter dough into the pan and press it down flat and even as you can.
06 -
Dump in the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir till it all sticks together like dough.
07 -
In your big bowl, swirl together melted butter and peanut butter till mixed up well.
08 -
Cover a 23x33 cm pan with parchment so it hangs over the sides for easy lifting later.
# Notes:
01 -
Room temp stuff mixes way easier and comes out smoother.
02 -
Use a hot blade for slicing—dip your knife in steaming water, wipe, then cut. That keeps edges nice and clean.
03 -
Go for store-bought creamy peanut butter if you want that smooth, classic texture.
