  • 1/2 cup butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter.
  • Stir until the mixture is thick, evenly combined, and holds together when pressed.

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

Notes

Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for a richer dessert. Store chilled in an airtight container for the cleanest slices.
