Instructions

Let’s get these squares stacking—it’s so simple, you’ll be munching in no time!

Preheat Your Equipment

No oven needed—just a microwave and a fridge!

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, mix 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup softened butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 2 cups powdered sugar—beat ‘til smooth and thick (add more sugar if it’s sticky). Melt 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 teaspoons shortening in a microwave-safe bowl—30-second bursts, stirring ‘til glossy.

Prepare Your Cooking Vessel

Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment—your square-making station’s ready!

Sprinkle with crushed graham crumbs if you’ve got ‘em (smash 1-2 sheets in a bag).

Cook to Perfection

No cooking—just chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours ‘til set—firm and ready to cut!

Finishing Touches

Lift out with parchment, slice into squares—big or small, your call!
