Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Binding Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Decoration Ingredients:
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, for eyes
Instructions
- Prepare an 8 x 8 inches (20 x 20 centimeters) baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the edges for convenient removal.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, melted unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and a delicate sprinkle of salt, whisking until the ingredients create a harmonious blend.
- Gradually fold powdered sugar into the mixture, stirring consistently until the texture transforms into a smooth, luxurious consistency.
- Press the peanut butter mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared dish, aiming for a uniform thickness of approximately 0.5 inches (1.27 centimeters).
- Transfer the dish to the freezer, allowing the mixture to solidify completely for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once set, extract the peanut butter base and slice into precise rectangular shapes using a sharp knife.
- Arrange the rectangles on a fresh parchment-lined tray, ensuring they do not touch each other.
- Carefully melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, utilizing short 15-second intervals and stirring between each burst to prevent scorching.
- Generously coat each peanut butter rectangle with the melted white chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-covered bars until the coating hardens completely.
- Transfer remaining melted white chocolate into a small piping bag or plastic sandwich bag, then carefully snip a tiny corner to create a makeshift piping tool.
- Drizzle the white chocolate in zigzag patterns across the bars to mimic mummy bandages.
- Strategically place mini chocolate chips as eyes on each bar, pressing gently to secure them.
- Return the decorated bars to the refrigerator for a final 5-10 minutes to ensure all elements set perfectly.
