The Recipe: Disneyland Peanut Butter Squares

Ingredients

For the Peanut Butter Layer:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural style)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or coconut oil)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling

  • In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter and melted butter until smooth.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, stirring until fully combined.
  • Fold in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture holds together.

2. Press into the Pan

  • Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper (for easy removal).
  • Firmly press the peanut butter mixture into the pan in an even layer.

3. Melt the Chocolate Topping

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil.
  • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

4. Assemble & Chill

  • Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading evenly.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or until the chocolate is set).

5. Slice & Serve

  • Lift the parchment paper to remove the slab from the pan.
  • Cut into small squares (they’re rich, so smaller pieces work well).
