No Bake Peanut Butter Bars Recipe

No Bake Peanut Butter Bars are super easy and fun for kids. These bars are one of the greatest because of their chocolaty crust, unbelievably delicious, smooth, and creamy filling, and perfect chocolate top.

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP-1

Chocolate Crumb Crust Add chocolate and powdered sugar to crumbs. Mix well. Incorporate butter with a fork.

STEP-2

Line an 8x8 pan with parchment. Press crumbs into pan bottom. Set aside.

STEP-3

Peanut Butter Filling Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well. Use on chocolate crust. Set aside.

STEP-4

Chocolate Topper Put chocolate and shortening in a small bowl and microwave for 2 minutes at half power. Smoothly stir. If it doesn't level, microwave 5–10 seconds at half power. Stir again after one minute. Whisk carefully to avoid air bubbles.

STEP-5

Peanut butter filling over. Cover filling evenly by rotating pan. Alternative: use a little offset spatula. Chill to set. Release with a board flip. Heat the pan edges with a hair dryer until they release. Remove the paper. Right side up.

STEP-6

Make 5 cuts across 1 ½" and 3 down 2 ⅔ inches. For smaller snacks, cut these bars in half. For precise cuts, run the knife under hot water, clean it quickly, melt the top layer with constant pressure, and cut straight down. Each cut needs knife warming.

STEP-7

Note: Refrigerate if these soften too much in warm weather. Makes 15 bars or 30 half-size treats.
