Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Topping

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup pastel M&M candies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, creamy peanut butter, and melted butter. Stir thoroughly with a spoon until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Press Base into Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with foil. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate has fully melted and is smooth.
  4. Top the Base: Pour the melted white chocolate over the peanut butter base. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
  5. Add M&M Candies: Sprinkle the pastel M&M candies evenly over the melted white chocolate to add a colorful and festive touch.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours to allow them to set properly before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • For easier removal from the pan, leave some foil overhang when lining the baking dish.
  • You can substitute the pastel M&Ms with other decorative candies or sprinkles as desired.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Allow bars to sit at room temperature a few minutes before serving for a softer texture.
