Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs, and 1/4 cup of coconut oil.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture is thick and crumbly.
- Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Press the peanut butter and graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the dish to create an even layer.
- In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the chocolate chips and almond milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the pressed peanut butter layer in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the top.
- Refrigerate the dish for at least 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has set completely.
- Once set, remove the bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 8 equal squares or bars.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture.
- For a extra-smooth peanut butter layer, use a creamy, no-stir peanut butter brand.
- Make sure to press the graham cracker crust firmly to create a solid base.
- Use high-quality vegan chocolate chips for the best flavor and melting consistency.
- Allow adequate chilling time to ensure the bars set properly and are easy to cut.
- For a fun variation, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate layer.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their perfect texture.
- For cleaner cuts, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between slices.
