Easy No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

I love no bake recipes! Quick, easy and no oven required. These Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars have a thick base layer of sweet and salty mixture of peanut butter and graham cracker and peanut butter chocolate layer on top. Who can resist them?!

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

They are that simple!

All you need is: butter, graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar and some chocolate. You probably have already these ingredients in your pantry!

There is just a little bit of work: to crush some graham crackers for the base, mix it with peanut butter and melted butter. Spread the base mix layer onto a square pan lined with some baking paper. One more step before refrigerating: melt some butter and mix with peanut butter to make the chocolate top layer. Add top layer to the pan, level it gently and refrigerate.

And I know you’re going to ask if they taste like Reese’s peanut butter cup! YES, they certainly do!

Just remember to take out the pan 10-15 minutes before serving them, so it is easier to cut into bars. You can cut generous bars or you can have bite-sized pieces.
