My twist on rice crispy bars includes crunchy crushed pretzels. Then I top them with a creamy peanut butter coating and rich chocolate topping. Garnished with peanuts and even more pretzels, I don't think I'd ever go back to plain old bars again. -Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Chocolate peanut butter bars tips:

- Ensure the butter and cream cheese are adequately softened before you start. This will make it easier to cream the ingredients together until they are smooth. - Do not over-bake the bars. Baking them for too long will cause them to be dry and crumbly. Bake them until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs attached, about 20 minutes. - Let the bars cool completely before serving. This will give them time to firm up and develop their full flavour.

Conclusion:

These chocolate peanut butter bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are rich, decadent, and have the perfect balance of chocolate and peanut butter. You can also add other ingredients to the batter, such as chocolate, peanut, or caramel. These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
