Recipe review: no-bake peanut butter bars deliciously easy to make

These are the best treat to ever happen to you. It is the perfect study snack or Super Bowl treat, plus they are super simple and quick to make.

The only thing you’ll regret about making these bars is eating all of them afterward. I even prefer them over Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, which is saying a lot. The longer they sit in the refrigerator, the better they taste.

Skill level: beginner

Tastiness: 9.75/10

Yields: One 9×13 pan

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (Use the boxed kind or grind them in a food processor or blender into tiny granules)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup + 4 tablespoons peanut butter
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

Directions:

In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, confectioners’ sugar and 1 cup peanut butter until well-blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9×13 inch pan (or 9×9 if you prefer thicker ones like those pictured). In the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the peanut butter, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Spread over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate for at least two hours before cutting into squares.
