Notes & Tips:
- Graham Cracker Crumbs: You can either crush whole graham crackers using a food processor or purchase pre-made graham cracker crumbs to save time.
- Peanut Butter Options: For extra creaminess, use smooth peanut butter. If you prefer a bit more texture, crunchy peanut butter works great, too!
- Melting Chocolate: Be careful when melting the chocolate to avoid burning it. If using the microwave, melt in short intervals and stir in between.
- Make It Your Own: Feel free to get creative by adding a layer of chopped nuts or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the melted chocolate.
- Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for longer shelf life.
