Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping, plus more for garnish
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- Whole peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Mix the crust: Combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared dish. Refrigerate the crust while making the filling.
- Beat the filling: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping.
- Spread the filling: Pour the creamy filling evenly over the chilled crust. Place the dish back in the refrigerator to set.
- Melt the topping: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter together until smooth.
- Pour the topping: Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the chilled filling.
- Chill the bars: Refrigerate for at least 240 minutes, or until set.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, add a dollop of whipped topping and whole peanuts on top. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. For an extra kick, you can add cocoa powder on top before serving.
