Ingredients

  • cups graham cracker crumbs gluten-free organic (, , or vegan)
  • cups powdered confectioners' sugar 
  • cup dairy-free buttery spread melted (I use Earth Balance)
  • 0.3 teaspoon smooth almond butter salted
  • 1.5 cups dairy-free chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life)

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, 1 cup peanut butter, melted butter alternative, and salt (if using) until well blended.
  2. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch pan.
  3. Melt the chocolate chips and the remaining ¼ cup of peanut butter in a pan over low heat until melted.
  4. Spread the chocolate mixture over the crust and refrigerate the bars for at least one hour.
  5. Keep the bars cold until ready to slice and serve.
  6. My father-in-law recommends storing the uneaten bars in the refrigerator - though there are no guarantees that any will be left!
