How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Freezer Bars

  1. Crush 8 graham crackers (or similar) in a ziptop bag using a rolling pin until finely crumbled.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix well.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a foil-lined 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  4. In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently fold in 3 cups whipped topping (thawed if frozen).
  6. Spoon 1/2 cup of the cream cheese mixture into a small bowl.
  7. Melt 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir into the reserved cream cheese mixture until well combined. Set aside.
  8. Spread half of the remaining cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust in the loaf pan.
  9. Top with the chocolate mixture, spreading evenly.
  10. Cover with the remaining cream cheese mixture.
  11. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  12. To unmold, invert the pan onto a serving plate. Remove the foil.
  13. Re-invert onto a serving platter so the crust is on the bottom.
  14. Top with remaining whipped topping and sprinkle with crushed graham cracker crumbs (optional).
  15. Slice and serve chilled.
