No Bake Peanut Butter Bars- What’s a better combination than chocolate and peanut butter?! These easy bars combine those great tastes in one easy bar. They are delicious, require a short ingredients list and require zero baking. The perfect bar!

I LOVE these bars. My mom made these all the time when I was growing up. When I got older, she passed this recipe on to me.  

In turn, my kids are crazy, insane,  in love with these bars.  They request them for nearly every holiday, special occasion, or simply when the ingredients can be found in the pantry. 

Ingredients Needed

• Peanut butter
• Graham cracker crumbs
• Powdered sugar
• Butter
• Chocolate chips

• Pin it for Later

A Few Recipe Notes:

• This recipe can easily be cut int half and made with an 8 x 8 size baking dish.
• With that said, you can also use the full recipe for a 9 x 9 size baking dish or a 12 count muffin/cupcake pan for individual cups.
• Store any leftover bars in the refrigerator. 
• Freezing?  These bars are ok to freeze! Store them in a covered, freezer safe container or storage bag. They will be good for a couple of months.
• Peanut Butter: The creamy variety works best. I have used "regular" peanut butter and the natural version for these. Both work great.
• Butter: Margarine, real butter or plant based butter all work for these.
