Description
Delicious no-bake peanut butter chocolate bars that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line your 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter and honey together in short bursts of about 30 seconds, stirring between each until smooth and fragrant.
- Add the crushed graham crackers, oats, and a pinch of salt into the melted mixture, and stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated and sticky.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula or your fingers, smoothing the top for an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- While the base chills, melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until glossy and smooth, or melt in short bursts in the microwave.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth, shiny top.
- Refrigerate the assembled bars for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set and the bars are firm. For best results, let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan, then slice into squares with a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
- You can add nuts or dried fruits for additional texture.
