Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter melted
1 cup creamy peanut butter divided use
2 cup graham cracker crumbs finely crushed
2 cup powdered sugar sifted
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate bars chopped
1/4 cup vegetable oil optional for smoother topping

Notes

Storage: Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months; simply separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. For clean cuts, run your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between each slice. Variations: Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to the base, or sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate layer before chilling.
