How to Make Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with butter or margarine. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out later.
In a medium bowl, crush 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs. Add ¼ cup (½ stick) melted butter and mix until well combined.
Press the graham cracker mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
While the crust is cooling, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread evenly.
Spread 1 cup creamy peanut butter over the chocolate layer.
Crush ½ cup pretzels and sprinkle evenly over the peanut butter.
Freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into approximately 12 squares.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
