Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and creamy peanut butter until smooth and thoroughly blended to create the base layer.
- Press Base Layer: Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking dish, ensuring an even and compact layer.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate layer is firm and fully set.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator, slice into 16 bars, and serve chilled or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For added crunch, mix in 1/4 cup chopped peanuts into the peanut butter mixture before pressing into the pan.
- These bars freeze well; store in an airtight container and freeze for up to one month for convenient future treats.
- To closely replicate Disneyland’s flavor, use high-quality chocolate and smooth, sweetened peanut butter for the best taste.
