Method
Peanut Butter Cup Directions
- 1
Prepare the base
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, melted butter, and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 8-inch square baking dish to form an even layer.

Make the peanut butter filling
In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, remaining powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the peanut butter mixture over the graham cracker base in the baking dish.

Melt the chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly. Tap the dish on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
