½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the peanut butter layer:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup heavy cream

For the chocolate layer:

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

½ cup heavy cream

For the topping:

1 cup shredded coconut

½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

¼ cup mini chocolate chips

¼ cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until well combined and crumbly.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x9-inch baking dish to form a flat, even layer.

          - Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly.

            Make the peanut butter layer:

              - In a separate bowl, whisk together creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.

                - Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust using a spatula.

                  Prepare the chocolate ganache:

                    - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine semisweet chocolate chips and ½ cup heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

                      - Pour the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter layer, gently spreading it out to create an even layer.

                        Add the topping:

                          - Sprinkle shredded coconut, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, and rainbow sprinkles evenly over the chocolate layer.

                            - Lightly press down on the toppings to ensure they adhere to the chocolate layer.

                              Chill and set:

                                - Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

                                  - Once set, remove from the refrigerator and cut into squares or bars.

                                    Serve:

                                      - Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your delightful 4-Layer Everything Bars with friends and family!
