Peanut Butter Lunch Lady Bars: A No-Bake Classic
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Unsalted butter, melted | 1 cup |
| Creamy peanut butter | 1 cup |
| Powdered sugar | 2 cups |
| Graham cracker crumbs | 2 cups |
| Semi-sweet chocolate chips | 1 ½ cups |
Directions:
- Make the Peanut Butter Base: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and creamy peanut butter. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients: Add powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs to the peanut butter mixture. Stir well until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
- Press Into Pan: Firmly press the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking pan, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon or your hands to create an even layer.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and silky smooth.
- Add Chocolate Topping: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill to Firm Up: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours until the chocolate layer is set and firm.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, cut into squares and enjoy!
