Equipment

  • 1 Food processor or blender
  • 1 9x13 baking dish
  • 1 Microwave safe bowl

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Nilla wafers
  • 1 cup salted butter, melted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ cups smooth peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • ¼ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions

  • Add the Nilla Wafers to a blender or large food processor and pulse until they are fine crumbs.

  • Spread the peanut butter mix into a 9x13 pan. Use a metal offset spatula to make the peanut butter mix smooth and level in the pan.
  • To make the topping, add the chocolate and ¼ cup peanut butter to a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after heating each time to melt the chocolate. Once the mix is completely melted and smooth, pour it over the peanut butter in the pan and spread it evenly.
