Ingredients:

2 cups creamy peanut butter
½ cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
4-5 cups powdered sugar (start with 4 cups and add more if needed)
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons festive sprinkles (optional)

Instructions:
 Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8” or 9×9″ dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
 Mix Base: In a large bowl, blend the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
 Add Sugar: Gradually mix in powdered sugar until the mixture resembles large crumbles and is easy to handle.
 Press the Mixture: Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Press it into an even layer. Use a piece of parchment paper on top to smooth it out.
 Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
 Add Chocolate Layer: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading evenly.
 Decorate: Sprinkle the festive sprinkles on top while the chocolate is still wet.
 Chill: Refrigerate the bars for 20 minutes to set the chocolate.
 Enjoy: Cut into bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.
