Description

These irresistibly delicious Disneyland-style Peanut Butter Sandwich Bars feature layers of crunchy graham crackers, creamy peanut butter filling, and a smooth, chocolatey topping. Perfectly balanced in sweetness and texture, they make a delightful no-bake treat that’s easy to prepare and sure to please peanut butter lovers of all ages.

Ingredients

Base Layer

  • 1 sleeve graham crackers (approx. 9 whole crackers), plus extra for layering

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Chocolate Topping

  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (to help the chocolate set soft)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting of the bars later.
  2. Layer the Base Crackers: Lay whole graham crackers in a single layer across the bottom of the pan. Break crackers as necessary to cover the entire base evenly.
  3. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
  4. Add Peanut Butter Layer: Pour the prepared peanut butter mixture over the graham cracker base and spread it out evenly using a spatula for a consistent layer.
  5. Top with More Crackers: Place another full layer of whole graham crackers on top of the peanut butter filling. Press gently to secure the layer without breaking the crackers.
  6. Melt Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in 30-second bursts, stirring after each interval until completely smooth.
  7. Finish with Chocolate Layer: Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the top graham cracker layer and spread gently with a spatula.
  8. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping firms up and the bars are fully set.
  9. Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the set bars out of the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife. Serve chilled or at room temperature for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For easier removal, use parchment paper with edges hanging over the pan.
  • Adjust the sweetness by using less powdered sugar if desired.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • These bars are a no-bake dessert, perfect for quick preparation without an oven.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted with almond butter for a different flavor twist, but the texture will change slightly.
