How to Make Easy Chocolate Peanut Bars
- Beat 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 cup creamy peanut butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until well combined.
- Add 3 cups powdered sugar and 1 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafer crumbs.
- Beat until thoroughly mixed and the dough comes together.
- Press the mixture evenly into a lightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish lined with wax paper, creating an even layer.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, stir together 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels and 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream until melted and smooth, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter base.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour, or until completely firm.
- Remove from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to slightly soften before cutting.
- Cut into 48 bars and enjoy!
