Description
A delicious and easy recipe for no-bake peanut butter chocolate bars that combines sweet and salty flavors, perfect for a quick dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (230 grams) unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 cup (250 grams) creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 cups (240 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 1 (12-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (65 grams) creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 baking pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set aside.
- Combine the melted butter and peanut butter in a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
- Add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully combined.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup at a time, and mix until fully combined.
- Scoop the peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it down into one even layer. Set aside.
- Add the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 to 30-second increments, stirring well after each increment, until completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture on top of the peanut butter layer and spread it around into one even layer.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 and 1/2 hours or until the bars are firm and the chocolate topping is set.
- Once the bars are firm, lift them out of the pan using the overhang from the foil or parchment paper, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to let the bars cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
- These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a variation, try adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate layer.
