No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars
These no-bake peanut butter chocolate bars are simple, quick, and delicious, made with just a handful of ingredients! I make them whenever a craving for chocolate and peanut butter strikes.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups (275 g) confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 cups (150 g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup (255 g) peanut butter, (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt, optional*
- 1 1/3 cups (227 g) semisweet chocolate
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9 x 13"x 2" pan. If you like, line the pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper.
- Combine the confectioners' sugar, graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, and melted butter until well-mixed.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at half-power in 30-second intervals until the chocolate melts when stirred.
- Spread the melted chocolate over the chilled peanut butter layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- After the bars have chilled, let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cutting into bars.
Notes
- *I like to add some salt to these. Adjust the amount to your taste, considering how salty your peanut butter is.
- Recipe slightly adapted from King Arthur Flour.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
