Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, try using smooth peanut butter instead of chunky. If you prefer a richer chocolate layer, mix in a tablespoon of coconut oil with the melted chocolate chips to enhance the shine and flavor. You can also substitute the graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits for a different flavor profile. This recipe is perfect for gatherings, just like Something Simple Casserole.
Serving Suggestions
Cut into bite-sized squares for serving at parties or gatherings, making them easy to grab. They pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or coffee for a delightful treat. For a fun twist, serve alongside fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. These treats are great for dessert tables and complement savory dishes like Broiled Pepperoni Bites.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Incredibles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze the squares, placing parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours or at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut butter?
Yes, you can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter for a different flavor. Just make sure to use a similar consistency to achieve the right texture. Keep in mind that using a flavored nut butter may change the overall taste of the dessert.
What should I do if the chocolate layer is too thick?
If you find the chocolate layer too thick, you can add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or coconut oil to the melted chocolate. This will help thin it out and make it easier to spread over the peanut butter layer, ensuring a smooth finish.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! These Incredibles can be made a day or two in advance. Just make sure to chill them in the refrigerator and cover them properly to maintain freshness. They actually taste even better after sitting for a day, as the flavors meld together.
