Ingredients:
- 14 whole graham cracker sheets
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 8 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3½ cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons shortening
- 4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Spray a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Place 2 whole graham cracker sheets in a Ziploc bag and crush them into crumbs with a meat mallet or the bottom of a glass. Set aside.
- Mix the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt. Slowly add the powdered sugar, a little at a time.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips with shortening. Heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between, until smooth. Be careful not to overcook.
- Lay the first layer of graham crackers (6 whole sheets) in sprayed baking dish.
- Pour about ⅓ of the chocolate into a thin layer over the graham crackers.
- Using your hands, take fistfuls of the peanut butter mixture and flatten it. Lay it on top of the chocolate layer. Cover as best you can without breaking the graham crackers below. You will use all of the peanut butter mixture.
- Layer another ⅓ of the chocolate on top of the peanut butter and then layer again with graham crackers (6 whole sheets) and pour the remaining chocolate on top.
- Sprinkle the crushed graham cracker crumbs on top.
- Let cool in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Cut into squares, big or small
