Ingredients

115g / 1/2 cup / 1 US stick melted salted butter ((or unsalted butter + 1/4 tsp salt))
1 cup crushed Arnott's Marie crackers (11 crackers) or graham cracker crumbs (8 crackers) (Note 1)
1 cup icing sugar / powdered sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter ((smooth))
1 cup dark chocolate chips - the melting kind ((US: semi sweet) (Note 2))
2 tbsp peanut butter ((smooth))

Method

Prepare an 8" / 20cm square pan by greasing it and lining it with baking paper.
Combine all the Base ingredients in a bowl and mix them thoroughly. Press this mixture firmly into the lined pan.
Melt the Topping ingredients together, which can be done in a microwave using 2 x 30 second bursts. Pour the melted mixture over the Base and spread it out evenly.
Place the pan in the refrigerator to set for about 1 1/2 hours. Once set, let it sit out briefly so the topping cuts cleanly. Slice into 16 squares.
