I LOVE anything with Peanut Butter and Chocolate, but sometimes I don’t have all day to bake in the kitchen. When I found these No Bake Peanut Butter Bars, I knew I had to give them a try.
It only took about 5 minutes to throw everything together then I let them sit in the refrigerator until after dinner. They turned out perfect and so delicious.
Ingredient Notes
- Butter
- Graham Cracker Crumbs (use the boxed kind, or grind them in a food processor. Tiny granules.)
- Powdered Sugar
- Peanut Butter
- Milk Chocolate Chips
How to make Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Bars
- In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended.
- Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9 × 13 inch pan. (I did mine in a 9 X 9 inch square pan because I wanted them to be thicker)
- In the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the peanut butter, stirring every 30 seconds until melted until smooth. Spread over the peanut butter layer.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.
Storing and Other Tips
Store your no bake peanut butter bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also store them in the freezer in a freezer-safe container. These bars make the perfect sweet treat any time of year.
These No Bake Peanut Butter Bars are so delicious with the peanut butter chips. However, we have made them with butterscotch chips and they were absolutely delicious.
It was a fun change, and the flavor was still amazing. You could also use the combination of milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips, to give it a creamy texture, and not so much rich chocolate.
I love this recipe with graham crackers, but if you don’t have any on hand, there are plenty of other options that would work just as well. Here is what I recommend:
- Golden Graham Cereal
- Vanilla Wafer Cookies
- Vanilla Oreo Cookies
- Teddy Bear Grahams
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Vanilla based cookies
- Biscoff Cookies
- Honey Nut Cheerios
- Frosted Flakes Cereal
- Frosted Cheerios
- Peanut Butter Cheerios
