LOVE THESE NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BARS
These no-bake bars are a favorite at our house with the creamy combo of peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter and milk chocolate.
NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BARS
There is very little prep for these bars.
The hardest part is waiting for the melted chocolate to set in the refrigerator.
The absence of an oven also increases my recipe success too! And, the chilled temperature to set the chocolate make them a great summer treat!
The smaller the pan, the thicker the bar. Just look at that layer of chocolate on top of a big slab of peanut butter infused with powdered sugar, crushed graham crackers and butter.
I cut the bars into smaller sizes than what is shown below. It’s a visual trick that if you cut them in half you can have twice as many. Right?
I keep them in a container in the fridge and they satisfy those mid-day sweet treat cravings! Without inhaling a 1/2 bag of peanut M&M’s.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 BOX POWDERED SUGAR 3 1/2 CUPS= 16 OZ BOX
- 1 1/2 CUPS GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS
- 1 CUP PEANUT BUTTER
- 1 CUP MELTED BUTTER
- 1 BAG OF MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS, MELTED
INSTRUCTIONS
- FOR THE BASE MIX ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS EXCEPT THE CHOCOLATE. PRESS INTO A SQUARE BAKING DISH.
- FOR A LESS DENSE BAR USE A STANDARD-SIZE RECTANGULAR BAKING DISH.
- NEXT, MELT 1 BAG OF MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS IN THE MICROWAVE. MICROWAVE IN 30-SECOND INCREMENTS TO PREVENT CHIPS FROM “BAKING.”
- YOU CAN ALSO MELT OVER THE STOVE ON LOW HEAT.
- SPREAD THE MELTED MILK CHOCOLATE OVER THE GRAHAM CRACKER BASE.
- CHILL IN FRIDGE! ENJOY!
These no-bake peanut butter and chocolate bars are perfect for holiday treats. The dense base makes them travel-friendly if delivered by sidewalk or car.

For the NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BARS, I don’t know what you mean by MIX & PRESS INTO ALL INGREDIENTS EXCEPT THE MILK CHOCOLATE. Preston to watch? What size pan do you use for this?
Thanks so much
