Tips:

  • To easily measure sticky peanut butter, lightly grease your measuring cup or spoon with cooking spray.
  • For a smoother texture, use a food processor to blend the peanut butter and butter until completely smooth.
  • If you don't have graham cracker crumbs, you can make your own by crushing graham crackers in a food processor or blender.
  • To make the chocolate coating, you can use either semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. If you use bittersweet chocolate, you may want to add a little bit of sugar to taste.
  • To easily cut the candy bars, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
