Make dessert simple with these easy no-bake peanut butter bars. They are creamy, rich, and ready in minutes, perfect for satisfying quick sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, melted butter, and graham cracker crumbs. Mix until fully combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press this peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use the bottom of a glass to press it down firmly.
  4. Place the chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and completely melted.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base. Spread it into an even layer.
  6. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is firm.
  7. Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares before serving.

Notes

  • For a Reese’s peanut butter bars recipe feel, use creamy peanut butter exclusively.
  • If you do not have graham cracker crumbs, you can substitute with 1 1/2 cups of crushed vanilla wafers.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
