Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter, softened
- 1 box Ritz Crackers, crushed (200 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients with the exception of the chocolate chips until well incorporated.
- Line a 9x13 Pyrex baking dish with parchment paper.
- Turn the batter out into the pan and with slightly buttered fingers, press the batter into the pan. Be sure to get into the corners and to evenly spread the batter as much as possible.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly on top of the batter.
- Bake for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and use a rubber spatula to smear the melted chocolate evenly over the batter. Be careful not to pull the batter up into the chocolate. Everything is very melted at this point.
- Refridgerate for 60 minutes. Allow to come to room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting. Once cut, place in a sealable contained and keep in a cool place.
