Ingredients

  • 2½ cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1⅓ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1¼ cups crunchy peanut butter
  • ½ cup salted sweet cream butter

Instructions

  • Line a 9-inch fluted tart pan with parchment paper, ensuring it covers bottom and sides; spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Microwave chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 45–55-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy (ganache base).
  • Pour half of the melted ganache into the tart pan, spreading evenly. Chill in the refrigerator until firm (15–20 minutes).
  • Combine powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs in a medium bowl.
  • Microwave peanut butter and salted butter together for 45 seconds until soft; mix until smooth.
  • Add the dry powder/sugar and crumb mixture to the melted peanut butter-butter mixture; stir thoroughly into a thick, spreadable filling.
  • Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the set ganache layer in the tart. Return to the refrigerator to refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
Ensure the chocolate layer is fully set before assembling to avoid liquefaction in the peanut butter layer.
For clean slices, warm a knife briefly in hot water before cutting each slice.
For halal compliance, ensure all ingredients are halal-certified (some salted butter may require verification).
