• 1/2 cup (75 g) chopped roasted peanuts

Instructions

Stir in the graham crackers and 1/2 cup of the dark chocolate chips. Pour and press this mixture into the baking pan into one even layer. Set aside.
• In sauce pan on low heat, add and melt remaining 1 cup of peanut butter, remaining chocolate chips, and vanilla. Do not burn or allow chocolate mixture to boil.
