EASY NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER BARS RECIPE



Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Bars Recipe image

I love a good, fast recipe that is pretty much fail-proof, and turns out perfectly every time. It's rare to come by, but this recipe is exactly that. It is simple, delicious, and so easy to throw together.

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Time 1h12m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup butter (melted)
2 cups graham cracker crumbs ((use the boxed kind, or grind them in a food processor. Tiny granules.))
2 cups powdered sugar
1¼ cups peanut butter (divided)
1½ cups milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended.
  • Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9 × 13 inch pan. (I did mine in a 9 X 9 inch square pan because I wanted them to be thicker)

  • Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: This will make the squares smooth and creamy. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can blend it until smooth in a food processor.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the squares for at least 2 hours before serving: This will help them to set and firm up.
  • Store the squares in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

These no-bake peanut butter squares are a delicious and easy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be ready in no time. The squares are creamy, peanut-buttery, and have a delicious chocolate coating. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
