Ingredients

• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup plant based butter (such as Country Crock® Plant Butter)
• 1 cup erythritol confectioners' sweetener (such as Swerve®)
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily's®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, extending the ends over the sides of the pan.

Step 2

Microwave plant based butter for 45 seconds or until melted. Add confectioners' sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and 1/2 cup peanut butter; mix well. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Step 3

Microwave chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons peanut butter for 45 seconds. Stir and continue to microwave at 20 second intervals until melted. Pour over graham cracker-peanut butter mixture and spread with an offset spatula until smooth.

Step 4

Refrigerate until semi-hardened, about 30 minutes. Score chocolate layer with a knife so that chocolate layer will not crack when cutting into bars. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 more minutes.

Step 5

Remove dessert from pan by pulling on the extended parchment paper; cut into bars.
