Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and melted butter.

- Melt the chocolate chips, adding approximately 1/2 cup melted butter for richness.
- Spread the melted chocolate chips on top of the layered mixture.
- Let cool, then serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you prefer a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter. You can also add a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate layer for a nice contrast. Ensure the butter is fully melted and slightly cooled before mixing to avoid clumping the powdered sugar.
Serving Suggestions
These bars are perfect as a dessert for gatherings or potlucks. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For an extra touch, serve with a side of fresh berries. They can also be enjoyed alongside coffee or a warm cup of tea for a delightful afternoon treat.

Store leftover S-2 bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze them, separating layers with parchment paper. To serve after freezing, let them thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or at room temperature for about 30 minutes before enjoying.

To enhance the chocolate flavor, consider drizzling melted chocolate over the top after spreading the initial layer. You could also mix some chocolate chips into the graham cracker mixture for added texture and flavor.
