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:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • Add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the batter for a deeper flavor.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can pulse the oats and nuts in a blender until they are finely chopped.
  • Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pan so that it doesn't crumble when you cut it.
  • Don't overbake the bars, or they will be dry. They should be set in the center, but still slightly soft.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them, or they will fall apart.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Peanut Crumble Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a peanut butter-oatmeal crust, a creamy peanut butter filling, and a chocolate ganache topping, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these Peanut Crumble Bars a try!
