These Disneyland Peanut Butter Squares are a rich, no-bake dessert layered with graham crackers, creamy peanut butter, and smooth chocolate for a nostalgic, indulgent treat.
Ingredients
14 whole graham cracker sheets
2 cups creamy peanut butter
8 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons shortening
4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick spray.

- Arrange 6 graham cracker sheets in a single layer in the dish. Spread one-third of the melted chocolate evenly over them.

- Spread another third of the chocolate over the peanut butter layer, then add another layer of 6 graham crackers.
- Spread the remaining chocolate on top.
- Sprinkle reserved graham cracker crumbs over the top layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture if desired.
White chocolate chips or drizzle can be added for a sweeter variation.
A light sprinkle of sea salt enhances flavor contrast.
Chocolate wafers can replace graham crackers for a richer taste.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw in the fridge before serving.
Let sit at room temperature briefly for a softer texture.
Use a sharp knife and wipe between cuts for clean squares.
