Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Mixture
  • 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1.5 cups crushed graham crackers
Chocolate Coating
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and melted butter. Stir until smooth.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and crushed graham crackers, mixing well until a thick dough forms.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the peanut butter mixture into small rectangular bars and place them on the sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes until firm.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
  5. Using a fork, dip each peanut butter bar into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
  6. Drizzle extra melted chocolate over the bars for decoration.
  7. Refrigerate the bars for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
  8. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!

Notes

Feel free to use milk chocolate or white chocolate as a coating for a different flavor. These bars are perfect for gifting or as a homemade treat.
