For the Base

  • 2 cups Powdered sugar For structure and sweetness.
  • 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs For that soft bite.
For the Chocolate Topping
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips Semi-sweet or dark depending on your mood.
  • 1 tablespoon Oil or butter (optional) Helps in achieving a smoother chocolate topping.

Preparation
  1. Line your pan (8x8 or 9x9) with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a big bowl, mix melted butter and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Stir in powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs until it forms a thick dough.
  4. Press the mixture into your lined pan firmly and evenly.
Chocolate Topping
