Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50% is a good choice.
  • Make sure the heavy cream is heated until it is just simmering. Do not boil it, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
  • Stir the chocolate and cream mixture constantly until it is smooth and well combined.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before spreading it on the crust. This will help to prevent the ganache from becoming too runny.
  • If you are using a store-bought peanut butter, make sure that it is creamy and not chunky. You can also use homemade peanut butter if you prefer.
  • Spread the peanut butter evenly over the ganache. You can use a knife or a small offset spatula for this.
  • Refrigerate the bars for at least 3 hours before serving. This will allow the ganache to set and the bars to firm up.
  • When you are ready to serve, cut the bars into squares or rectangles. You can also drizzle them with melted chocolate or sprinkle them with chopped peanuts.

Conclusion:

Peanut Butter Ganache Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is always a winner, and the ganache filling is rich and decadent. These bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
