Description
Delicious and easy-to-make peanut butter sandwich bars layered with chocolate and graham crackers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 whole graham cracker sheets
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 8 tbsp softened butter
- 2 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp salt
- 3½ cups powdered sugar
- 4 tbsp shortening
- 4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Spray a 2 quart (8 ½ x 11) glass baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Place 2 whole sheets of graham cracker in a zip bag and crush into crumbs using a rolling pin, meat mallet, or the bottom of a glass. Set aside.
- Mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt. Slowly add in powdered sugar a little at a time.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips with shortening. Heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between, until smooth. Be careful not to overcook.
- Lay the first layer of graham crackers (6 whole sheets) in the sprayed baking dish.
- Pour about 1/3 of the chocolate into a thin layer over the graham crackers.
- Using your hands, take fistfuls of the peanut butter mixture and flatten. Lay on top of the chocolate layer, covering as best you can without breaking the graham crackers below. Use all of the peanut butter mixture.
- Layer another 1/3 of chocolate on top of the peanut butter and then layer again with graham crackers (6 whole sheets) and pour the remaining chocolate on top.
- Sprinkle the crushed graham cracker crumbs on top.
- Let cool in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Cut into squares, big or small.
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
