NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BARS

INTRODUCTION

These bars are the easiest dessert ever — no oven, no hassle, no stress — but they taste like fancy bakery candy.
Perfect for last minute guests, parties, potlucks, kids sleepovers, holidays… or late night sweet cravings.

HISTORY

this dessert became popular in Midwestern USA church cookbooks in the 1970s.
women needed fast desserts for church gatherings → so they invented “no-bake tray bars”.
peanut butter + chocolate quickly became the #1 favorite combination.

FORMATION (why this recipe WORKS)

graham crumbs = structure
peanut butter = richness + fat
butter = smooth texture
chocolate = top flavor layer
everything binds together cold → no baking needed.

INGREDIENTS

base

½ cup (1 stick) melted butter
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups crushed graham crackers (or digestive biscuits)

top chocolate layer

1½ cups chocolate chips
2 tbsp peanut butter

INSTRUCTIONS / METHOD

mix melted butter + peanut butter + powdered sugar until smooth.
add crushed graham crackers and mix into a dough.
press this mixture firmly into a pan.
melt chocolate chips + 2 tbsp peanut butter in microwave 30 sec at a time → stir smooth.
pour chocolate over the base layer.
refrigerate 2 hours, then cut into bars.
