Irresistible Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars – A No-Bake Delight


 

Method

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  1. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and peanut butter.

  2. Mix until well blended and smooth.

  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan, creating an even layer.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Topping

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter.

  2. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.

  3. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 3: Chill and Set

  1. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is firm.

  2. Once set, cut into squares or bars using a sharp knife (tip: warm the knife slightly for cleaner cuts).


Tips for the Perfect Bars

  • For extra crunch, add chopped nuts to the base or sprinkle crushed peanuts on top before chilling.

  • Swap graham crackers for digestive biscuits or even crushed Oreos for a fun twist.

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week—or freeze for longer storage.
