Ingredients
Peanut Butter Layer
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate Topping
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. peanut butter
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease the pan.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, melted butter, graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar until well combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted.
- Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until firm.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Creamy peanut butter works best for a smooth texture.
- For easier slicing, let the fudge sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- Try using milk chocolate, dark chocolate or peanut butter chips for a fun variation.
Tips For Success
- Press the peanut butter layer firmly into the pan so the bars hold together well.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner cuts.
- For bakery-style squares, chill completely before slicing and wipe the knife clean between cuts.
