Ingredients
72 club crackers
1 cup salted butter (2 sticks)
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup milk
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line the bottom of an ungreased 9×13-inch baking dish with a single layer of club crackers.
- In a large saucepan over low to medium heat, melt the butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and milk, mixing well without letting the mixture boil.
- Remove from heat and spread half of the mixture evenly over the crackers.
- Add a second layer of crackers, spread the remaining mixture on top, and finish with a final layer of crackers.
- In a small saucepan, melt the peanut butter and chocolate chips together over medium-low heat until smooth.
- Spread the chocolate peanut butter mixture evenly over the top layer of crackers.
- Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm, then slice into squares and serve.
Notes
Let bars sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for easier slicing.
Dark chocolate chips can be used for a less sweet flavor.
Crunchy peanut butter adds extra texture if desired.
Bars store well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
