Who remembers the old-school lunch lady bars we all used to love as kids? This \u00a0chocolate peanut butter no-bake recipe is basically that but made easy with just\u00a05 ingredients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m no stranger to making peanut butter bars. I have some made with\u00a0pretzels<\/a>, some with\u00a0extra peanut butter<\/a>, some with\u00a0marshmallows<\/a>, and even some made with\u00a0Oreos<\/a>. You can\u2019t ever have too many peanut butter desserts, am I right?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top is a mixture of chocolate chips and peanut butter, which helps melt the chocolate as well as temper it enough that it won\u2019t crack when you cut the bars. The peanut butter is sweetened with powdered sugar and the crushed Ritz crackers give them a little crunch. These are like peanut butter balls but crunchier and in bar form.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Make Peanut Butter Bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. It\u2019s best to use melted unsalted butter but salted butter may be substituted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Creamy Peanut Butter is what\u2019s used traditionally but chunky peanut butter will work. Be sure to use a regular shelf-stable peanut butter spread (not one you need to stir).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. I always use Ritz Crackers for this recipe, but traditionally I believe graham cracker crumbs are used. You can use any\u00a0cracker<\/a>\u00a0for this recipe (Ritz, Keebler, graham crackers, etc) as long as it\u2019s a buttery cracker that crushes easily. Even digestive biscuits would work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. You can crush the crackers in a food processor or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. Make sure they\u2019re crushed to fine crumbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Powdered Sugar\u00a0<\/strong>helps to bind the whole thing and adds a delicious sweetness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips with some\u00a0peanut butter<\/a>\u00a0for the coating on top of the peanut butter layer. I\u2019m using sweet chocolate chips for this recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
