chocolate snack, easy snack recipe, no bake snacks

1. Line an 8x8-inch square pan with foil, leaving enough to hang over the sides, then butter the foil. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the ½ cup of butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter and graham cracker crumbs until completely combined and smooth. Spread the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
3. In the now-empty saucepan, melt the ¼ cup unsalted butter. Add the chocolate and stir until almost completely melted. Remove from heat and continue stirring until completely melted. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and smooth into an even layer.
4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Remove from the pan using the foil overhangs and place on a cutting board. Use a pizza cutter to slice into 16 bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Easy and tasty, but my 15YO says that next time we should use less powdered sugar and more graham cracker crumbs. They are awfully sweet, and I like sweet.

I have been making these for years, I have tried a few other recipes on google, but nothing compares to this one. I usually double the chocolate though because I like mine thicker, and sometimes I will marble some melted peanut butter through the chocolate layer before letting it set, I set mine in the freezer for about 1520 minutes because I'm impatient lol. I love these so much.

Incredibly delicious and easy. Made this last night, brought it to work today and it was gone in record time. Everyone loved it. It's so quick and easy. I used salted butter, extra milk chocolate chips and didn't add butter to the chocolate chips (just my preference). Couldn't believe how easy and quick it is to make and it's soooo delicious. No need to buy Reese's pb cups anymore!! Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe.
