No Bake Peanut Butter Bars
June 9, 2020
These delicious Peanut Butter Bars are an easy, no bake treat. They’re a layer of peanut butter, salted butter, and graham cracker crumbs covered in a layer of chocolate and peanut butter.
These no bake peanut butter bars are loaded with peanut butter flavor and they taste just like a Reese’s peanut butter cup. I’m pretty much sold on anything that taste like a Reese’s. I promise you won’t regret it.
These bars are perfect for a fun dessert or snack, and can also be made ahead of time. Store these bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Tips for The Recipe
- Cutting your bars: be sure to line your 9 x 13” pan with parchment paper or foil for easy removal. Hang the foil or paper over the edges of the pan so that you can lift the bars out. Place the bars on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut them into pieces.
- A sprinkle of sea salt: sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of your chocolate layer (before it goes in the fridge) if you’re craving an extra salty and sweet combination.
- Creamy or Crunchy: If you like your food to have a bit of a crunch to it, then I highly suggest using crunchy peanut butter for this recipe.
Additions to the Recipe
- Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
- Oatmeal
- Chocolate Chips
