Ingredients
- 3/4 cup vegan butter softened
- 1 1/4 cups crunchy peanut butter divided
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups confectioner's' sugar
- 1 1/2 cups vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
For the peanut butter filling:
- In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, use a medium-low speed setting to mix together the vegan butter and 1 cup peanut butter.
- Add graham cracker crumbs and confectioners' sugar. Continue mixing on medium-low until well blended.
- Into a parchment-lined 8x11-inch pan, press the filling onto the bottom in an even layer.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes. This helps to keep the warm chocolate topping from seeping into the peanut butter layer.
For the chocolate layer:
- Into a medium-size mixing bowl, add the chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter.
- Using a microwave, heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each time until chocolate is melted. Stir well to fully combine chocolate and peanut butter.
Putting it all together:
- Over the chilled filling, spread melted chocolate mixture in an even layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until set.
To serve:
- Remove from refrigerator and allow to stand 5-10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut into desired serving-size pieces.
- Serve chilled. Any leftovers should be stored covered in the refrigerator.
