Chicken Pot Without the Bones
Instructions
Prepare and Press Base
Start by lining an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the sides so it's easy to lift out later. Melt the plant-based butter in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Once it's melted, stir in the confectioners' sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and half a cup of peanut butter until everything is well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan.
Melt and Spread Chocolate
Next, melt the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter together in the microwave. Heat for 45 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Pour this chocolate mixture over the graham cracker base and spread it evenly with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
Chill and Score Chocolate
Pop the pan into the fridge for about 30 minutes until the chocolate layer is set but still a little soft. Before it hardens completely, gently score the chocolate with a knife to prevent cracking when you cut the bars later. Chill for another 30 minutes or so until fully firm. When ready, lift the whole thing out using the parchment paper edges and slice into bars. Enjoy!
