No Bake Peanut Butter Bars
Super easy, delicious dessert!
Ingredients
PEANUT BUTTER LAYER:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full-sheets of graham crackers)
- 1¾ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
CHOCOLATE LAYER:
- 6 ounces 70% cacao dark chocolate, chopped
- 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with foil or parchment paper and set it aside.
MAKE THE PEANUT BUTTER LAYER:
- In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar. Stir in 1 cup of peanut butter, then press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
MAKE THE CHOCOLATE LAYER:
- In a small bowl melt the chopped chocolate and 3 tablespoons peanut butter in the microwave or on the stove in a double boiler. Stir until smooth. Spread evenly over the peanut butter layer.
- Chill the bars in the refrigerator until completely firm, at least 2 hours. Allow them to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting. Served chilled. (Setting them out for a few hours at room temperature for serving is OK).
- Cover leftover bars tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
