Zubereitung von Peanut Butter Nanaimo Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, 1/2 cup chopped peanuts, and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set.
- Let the base cool completely before proceeding to the next step.
- **Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:** In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth.
- Remove from heat and gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly until fully incorporated.
- Stir in 1/4 cup milk until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the cooled crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the filling is firm.

- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter filling.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped peanuts.
