Servings: 16 bars
Calories: 327kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups vegan graham cracker crumbs (Note 1)
- 1 cup organic powdered sugar
- ¾ cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Note 2)
For Topping
- 1 ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Line the bottom and sides of an 8 x 8 inch or 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil.
- Stir the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted vegan butter together in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the peanut butter.
- Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
- To make the topping, place the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and the ingredients are fully combined (Note 3).
- Spread the topping evenly over the graham cracker mixture.
- Place the baking dish into the refrigerator. Chill the bars until they are fully set, about 2 hours.
- Once fully chilled, remove the bars from the pan, then slice and serve.
Notes
- You will need about 14 whole graham crackers to make 2 cups of crumbs.
- I don't recommend using natural (runny) peanut butter for this recipe, as the bars may not hold together as well. I used Skippy brand.
- You can also melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the stove, if preferred.
