Title: Erdnussbutterschnitten

Ingredients:
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
– 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and softened unsalted butter. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

2. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick and slightly crumbly.

3. Add the vanilla extract and sea salt to the mixture, stirring until evenly combined.

5. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top.

6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

7. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.

8. Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate has set.

9. Once set, remove the pan from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled peanut butter and chocolate mixture into squares.
