1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Chocolate Topping:
1 cup dark chocolate chips (choose a lower SmartPoints option if available)

Instructions:
For the Peanut Butter Layer:
Prepare Base: In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
Press Into Pan: Press the mixture into the bottom of a lined square baking dish to create the base layer.
Make Peanut Butter Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this mixture over the graham cracker crust.
For the Chocolate Topping:
Melt Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter together using a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
Pour Over Peanut Butter Layer: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly.
Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the bars are set.
Cut Into Bars: Once set, remove from the refrigerator and cut into bars.
SmartPoints Variation: The SmartPoints value will depend on the specific ingredients and quantities used. Be sure to check the latest Weight Watchers guidelines for the most accurate points.
Peanut Butter Options: Choose a peanut butter and chocolate chips with lower SmartPoints values to keep the bars lighter.
