This no-bake chocolate peanut butter bar recipe is the perfect embodiment of that magic that chocolate and peanut butter create when paired together. They are layered on top of a crushed graham cracker crust which gives the perfect crunchy base for all that chocolatey nutty deliciousness.
In a heatproof bowl over boiling water, melt the butter and 1½ cups peanut butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and set aside, allowing to cool for about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix together the graham crackers, powdered sugar, salt and chocolate chips. Stir in the peanut butter mixture and mix well to combine.
Spray the bottom of a 9x13" pan, then spread the peanut butter mixture evenly in the bottom and set aside.
