How to Make No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Mix well.
Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter crust and spread evenly.
If desired, drizzle the extra ½ cup peanut butter over the top of the chocolate layer in a zig-zag pattern.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm.
Lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang, cut into squares, and serve.
