For the Bars
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (regular not the natural or less fat kind)
For the Swirl Topping
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, divided
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- 1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and add confectioners' sugar and brown sugar. Mix with a rubber spatula to combine. Add graham cracker crumbs and give it a good stir. Last but not least, add creamy peanut butter and stir until smooth and thoroughly combined. Spread in an even layer in the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
- 2. In another bowl, melt 3/4 cup chocolate chips and add 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, stir until melted. Spread over peanut butter bars. Next, heat 1/4 cup peanut butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds (it helps with the pouring). Drizzle peanut butter over the chocolate, creating 5-6 straight lines. Rotate pan 90 degrees and using a toothpick, drag it through the lines, creating the pattern. Repeat 5-6 times. Cover pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting. Enjoy!
