No Bake Peanut Butter Bars
For peanut butter lovers!
Servings: 18 bars
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full-sheet graham crackers)
- 1¾ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup + 3 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter, divided
- 6 ounces 70% cacao dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set it aside.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of peanut butter with the chopped chocolate 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. Serve chilled.
- Cover the leftover bars tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Setting these bars out for a few hours at room temperature for serving is okay.
