No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

Hi Everyone, this No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars recipe is a childhood classic dessert that I grew up with.

You can have them salted for a "grown-up" twist or just plain.

These are a sweet and savory dessert bar that makes a large batch (a 9 x 13-inch pan)

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups graham crackers, processed into crumbs
• 2 cups confectioner's sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter, I prefer the all-natural style
• 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chip morsels
• 4 tablespoons peanut butter
• sea salt amount to taste, for sprinkling on top (I use Mediterranean Cyprus White Flake Sea Salt for this recipe). This is the salt that I use, it's great!:

Kitchen Tools

• 2 medium-large mixing bowls
• measuring spoons and cups
• baking spatula
• 9 x 13-inch pan
• food processor
• handheld electric mixer

Web Story

These are perfect for having at sports practices or for game day as they make a big batch (you can cut the bars into whatever size you want from a 9 x 13-inch pan), so they feed a crowd.

I know you will love this No Bake Peanut Butter Bars!
