Preparation Instructions
  1. Start by crushing the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or a plastic bag and rolling pin.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with creamy peanut butter and honey or maple syrup. Stir until well blended.
  3. Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the lined dish and press down firmly.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed peanut butter base and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
  6. Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1-2 hours until the chocolate layer is firm.
  7. Once set, remove the slab from the baking dish and slice into squares or bars.
