Reese's Peanut Butter Bars (Print Version)

Layered peanut butter and chocolate bars chilled to perfection. Easy, no oven required, sweet for any moment.

# Ingredients:

→ Base Layer

01 - 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, melted
02 - 2 cups (240 grams) graham cracker crumbs
03 - 2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar
04 - 1 cup (255 grams) creamy peanut butter

→ Chocolate Topping

05 - 1 1/2 cups (255 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
06 - 1/4 cup (64 grams) creamy peanut butter

# Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and cohesive.
02 - Line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper. Evenly press the peanut butter mixture into the bottom, creating a flat, uniform layer.
03 - In a microwave-safe bowl, mix chocolate chips with 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each burst, until completely smooth.
04 - Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the base and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until fully set and firm.
05 - Lift the set confection from the pan using the parchment. Slice into bars and serve.

# Notes:

01 - For clean cuts, warm your knife with hot water and wipe between slices.
