Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Bars
My grandma's Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Bars recipe is amazing with a peanut butter base topped with melted chocolate chips and more!
Equipment
- 13 x 9 inch cake pan or 11 x 9
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered or icing sugar
- 1 ¼ cups peanut or almond butter, smooth or crunchy
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
- ¼ cup pecans, chopped, more or less to taste
- ¼ cup Heath or Skor bits, more or less to taste
- ¼ cup peanut butter chips, more or less to taste
Instructions
- Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and 1 cup of the peanut butter.
- Stir until incorporated.
- Press on to the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan, as evenly as you can. I use the bottom of a large glass to help me flatten the layer out.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine ¼ cup of peanut butter and the chocolate chips.
- Melt on high in 20 or 25 second intervals. At each break stir. Keep slowly heating until smooth.
- Spread chocolate all over top.
- Sprinkle pecans, peanut butter chocolate chips and Heath or Skor bits all over top of the chocolate layer. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
- When you're ready to slice them, run a sharp knife under some really hot water so your slices look smooth and beautiful. Put your knife back under the hot water and wipe in between slices as well.
- Serve and enjoy every bite!
- These bars are best kept stored in your refrigerator or freezer.They will last for up to 5 days inside your fridge or 2 months in the freezer.
Notes
*If you’re peanut butter mixture seems too runny, try adding an extra ¼ cup of icing or powdered sugar and stir until blended. You might need up to another ¼ cup.
**Also, if your home is warm, you might need to keep this dessert inside your fridge or freezer until moment of serving.
