How to Make No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares

  1. Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

  3. Stir in 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until thoroughly combined.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  5. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate squares in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. (Alternatively, melt chocolate in a double boiler).
  6. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before pouring it over the peanut butter mixture.
  7. Spread the chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer using a spatula or knife.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the dessert is firm and set.
