This recipe forms a rather stiff dough, you might have to press it in the pan. One time I put raisins in the batter by mistake, and my husband loved them that way. You can also omit the chocolate chips and have them plain if you wish.

PEANUT BUTTER NO-BAKE BARS



Peanut Butter No-Bake Bars image

These bars are perfect for when you're craving a peanut butter cup, but can't quite get to them. Inspired by buckeyes, they have that same fudgy-salty-sweet vibe, but with a layer of caramelized flavor from letting the butter turn golden brown after it melted. You can make these treats in just about any size pan, even a mini muffin tin for that true peanut butter cup feel. Cut them into bars or squares with a knife, or use cookie cutters to make cute shapes if you need a project for the kids. Or even the adults, because that sort of thing never gets old.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 20m

Yield 1 (8-by-8-inch) pan

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy), or use another nut butter
Pinch of kosher salt (optional)
1/2 cup cookie crumbs, such as graham crackers or gingersnaps, or use almond flour, coconut flour or shredded coconut
About 1 cup confectioners' sugar
6 ounces chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, any percentage (1 cup)
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
Flaky sea salt, shredded coconut, sliced almonds, chopped honey-roasted peanuts, or crushed pretzels, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the base: Heat butter in a pot or skillet, letting it melt and bubble and turn brown. It will smell nutty. Add peanut butter, and turn off the heat. (If your nut butter is unsalted, add a pinch of salt.) Stir it all around until the peanut butter melts, then stir in crumbs.
  • Sweeten the mix to taste with confectioners' sugar. That could mean 1 cup, but try it as you go.
  • Spread the mixture into parchment or foil lined 8-by-8-inch pan, but really, any pan will work.
  • Make the topping: Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small pot, and melt the chocolate on the stovetop over low heat, stirring constantly. (Alternatively, add to a microwaveable bowl, and microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between each one.)
  • Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle any of the toppings over, and refrigerate until the peanut butter and chocolate layers are set, about 1 hour or so. Cut these into bars or squares with a knife, or use cookie cutters for shapes. (Store in the refrigerator after cutting; they'll melt in a warm room.)

Tips:

  • Use natural peanut butter: Opt for natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for a healthier option.
  • Choose your mix-ins wisely: Consider adding nutrient-rich ingredients like chia seeds, flax seeds, or protein powder for an extra nutritional boost.
  • Control portion size: While these bars are a great snack, be mindful of portion control to manage your calorie intake.
  • Make it a fun activity: Involve your family or friends in the bar-making process for a bonding experience.
  • Experiment with flavors: Don't be afraid to experiment with different nut butter flavors or add-ins to create unique variations.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter feel-full bars are a delicious and convenient snack that can help you stay satisfied between meals. With their simple ingredients and customizable variations, these bars are a great option for anyone looking for a healthier snack alternative. Whether you're a busy professional, a fitness enthusiast, or simply someone looking for a tasty treat, these bars are sure to become a favorite. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to indulge in a guilt-free snacking experience!
