When it gets too hot to turn on the oven, these no bake peanut butter bars are my go to dessert. They are incredibly rich and satisfy any sweet tooth without requiring any actual baking time.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how easy it is to customize. You can use crunchy or creamy peanut butter depending on the texture you prefer, and they store perfectly in the freezer for whenever you need a quick pick me up.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter for the topping

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and one cup of peanut butter in a large bowl until well combined.

  2. 2

    Press the mixture firmly into an even layer at the bottom of a nine by thirteen inch pan.

  3. 3

    Melt the chocolate chips and the two tablespoons of peanut butter together in the microwave, stirring every thirty seconds until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the chocolate mixture over your base and spread it out so it covers the top completely.

  5. 5

    Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least two hours or until the bars are firm enough to slice into squares.

💡 Tips

Store these bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to three months. They taste best when served chilled directly from the fridge.
