Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (or 325°F if using a glass dish).
- In a 13 x 9-inch pan, melt butter in the oven.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the melted butter.

- Press semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips into the milk layer.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until lightly browned.
- Cool the bars completely before cutting into pieces.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of dark chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips. If you're out of oleo, unsalted butter works just as well. To make these bars a bit healthier, you can substitute half of the graham cracker crumbs with crushed oats. Make sure to pack the crumbs tightly for a sturdy base. These bars are a festive treat, perfect for Halloween gatherings or parties.
Serving Suggestions
These Double Delicious Halloween Bars are perfect on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Consider serving them alongside a warm apple cider or pumpkin spice latte for a seasonal touch. For a fun twist, serve them at Halloween parties alongside other treats like Jello Yogurt Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to two weeks. If you want to enjoy them warm, simply microwave individual pieces for 10-15 seconds. This will rejuvenate the chocolate and give them a delightful gooey texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate chip?
Absolutely! You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips based on your preference. Each type will give the bars a unique flavor profile, so feel free to experiment to find your favorite combination.
How do I know when the bars are done baking?
The bars are done when the top is lightly browned and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan. If you're unsure, you can insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on them as baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven.
Can I freeze these bars?
Yes, you can freeze the bars for up to three months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container. When you're ready to enjoy them, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.
