No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
These No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars need just 5 simple ingredients and take about 10 minutes to prepare. They're the perfect quick dessert for chocolate and peanut butter lovers!
Ingredients
For the peanut butter layer:
- 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
For the chocolate topping:
- 1 12-ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup 65 grams creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 baking pan with foil or parchment paper, making sure to leave 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. Then, 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.
Notes
Store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
For freezing, the bars will keep well for up to 3 months—just thaw them overnight in the fridge.
For best results, use a creamy, no-stir peanut butter, such as Jif or Skippy, in this recipe.
