ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1⁄3 cup unsalted butter
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1⁄2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1⁄2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter
- 3⁄4 cup chocolate (60 percent bittersweet, chopped)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment. (I skipped this step and found it unnecessary).
- In a shall bowl, mix together the cookie crumbs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/3 cup unsalted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press the crumbs into the parchment-lined pan, packing down with the bottom of a glass. Bake for 15 minutes until set. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Melt 1/2 cup butter for the peanut butter layer. Mix in the powdered sugar until smooth. Add in the peanut butter and whip until smooth.
- Stir in the graham cracker crumbs. Spread the layer over the cooled crust. Drop several spoonfuls throughout the bottom of the crust before smoothing the top.
- In a double boiler melt the remaining 1/4 butter. Once melted, add in the chocolate and stir until melted. Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into bars and serve.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
