- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/4 pound bacon
Start off by combining the butter, peanut butter, graham crackers and sugar in a bowl. After everything is mixed up nice and well spread the mixture evenly into a pan. I used a 9″ x 9″ pan for mine and it was the perfect size. At this point you’ll wanna let the pan chill in your refrigerator for around 30 minutes before adding the layer of chocolate.
While the bottom layer is in the fridge you can start frying your bacon. The amount you use is totally up to you. I absolutely love bacon so I used a quarter pound of it, but I can totally see how that might be too much for some people. When your bacon is ready use a paper towel to blot off as much grease as you can and then chop it up into small pieces.
At this point a half hour should have passed and you can start melting the chocolate chips. I also added five tablespoons of peanut butter to my melted chocolate and then mixed 3/4 of my diced bacon in with it as well.
All that’s left to do after that is to spread the melted chocolate over the bottom layer and then sprinkle the rest of your bacon on top of it. Another hour of cooling time in the refrigerator after that and your peanut butter bacon bars will be ready to eat!
