Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer until smooth
  • Stir in 1 cup of powdered sugar, and mix well

  • Pour the caramel sauce over the peanut butter layer, and refrigerate until firm
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, melt the second cup of peanut butter and chocolate chips on low heat (you can do this on the stove or in the microwave for about 30 seconds)

  • Pour frosting over the caramel layer, smooth out with spatula, and top with extra crushed graham crackers, if desired
  • Store in refrigerator until ready to serve
