Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crush the 24 chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Melt 4 tbsp butter and mix with the crumbs until well combined.

  2. Step 2

    Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking pan. Place in the freezer while you make the filling.

  3. Step 3

    In a bowl, beat together 1 cup peanut butter, 1.5 cups powdered sugar, and the remaining 2 tbsp melted butter until smooth and creamy.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Return to the freezer for 15 minutes, until firm.

  5. Step 5

    Melt 1.5 cups chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Pour over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.

  6. Step 6

    Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until the chocolate is set. Cut into bars and serve.

  7. Step 7

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
