Instructions:
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are fully coated with the butter.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x9-inch baking dish to form the crust. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your creation!
For best results, make sure to refrigerate the bars long enough for them to set completely before cutting them into squares. This will help achieve clean cuts and a stable texture.
You can also experiment with different toppings, such as crushed peanuts or a drizzle of caramel, to add an extra layer of flavor. Enjoy your no-bake dessert!
