Peanut Butter Bars

Insanely delicious Peanut Butter Bars! These no bake bars are rich, creamy and delicious topped with a thick layer of chocolate. Super easy to whip up (no oven required) and made with just 5 simple ingredients they're impossible to resist!

Made these today. With the exception of adding a light sprinkling of flaky sea salt on the freshly poured chocolate layer, I followed the recipe exactly as written. These bars are amazing. The texture of the peanut butter base and the chocolate topping together are absolutely delicious.

I've been making these for decades. They are always a huge hit, and they taste exactly like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Pro Tip: If you're using just chocolate for the topping (rather than a mixture of chocolate and peanut butter), you will want to leave them in the fridge only long enough for the chocolate to be *just barely* set but not yet hard (~20-25min). If you chill completely before cutting them into squares, the chocolate will shatter and some pieces will become detached from the peanut butter layer. Doesn't affect the taste at all of course but it does look messy, so if presentation is important (e.g. giving as a gift, or for a party, etc.), then you'll want to make sure you cut before it gets hard.

I feel like John is a guy literally anyone could just hang with, like a baking Mr. Rogers.

I don't know how he doesn't weigh 400lbs!!!! He's my go-to guy when I'm looking for something new to make ❤️

John, I just made this and it is one of the best desserts ever! I had to substitute stevia for the powdered sugar because I'm type 2 diabetic, but other than that, exactly the same. Amazing and thank you so much for creating this!

John: Cuts his parchment perfectly to size
Me: Stuffs a piece in the baking dish with reckless abandon

The beat peanut butter bars i've ever made and eaten

Dear John, I have thoroughly enjoyed your recipes, but this one I learned just before the holidays. As I'm a live-in caregiver I had nurses coming in and out every day and I made these for them and let them know the recipe is from the Preppy Kitchen. Hope this got you new subscribers! Love your recipes!

I made these and took them to my in-laws tonight. Everyone loved them! My mother-in-law even asked for the recipe. I don’t have graham crackers or biscoff cookies where I live but I was able to find a nice substitute. I loved the fact that this is a no-bake dessert and that I didn’t have to turn on my oven in this stupid hot summer.

I made these for my husband, once, about a year ago and he’s brought up how good they were more times than I can count. Making them for him again for Valentines Day on Monday. Thank you again for this recipe!

Love toast with butter and peanut butter

[poulamimukherjee]

I made this two weeks back and it turned out so good. Everyone loved it. I really enjoy your recipes. There’s a simplicity in them and in the way you explain each instruction. I have gotten better at baking, thanks to you 😊

Loved toast with a mixture of butter, peanut butter and honey on top. So delicious warm. Thanks for that childhood memory

[lilandracarrier]

I made these tonight and they are fantastic! I did use less sugar as I am very sensitive to the taste of it, especially powdered. 1 1/4 cups worked so well for me! A new summer favorite, I love keeping it in the fridge.

My husband makes these for me when I'm craving something sweet! He does a variation with white chocolate that's really good, too. When he makes chocolate ones, he does a mix of milk and dark chocolates. It's to die for! 👌😎

I came here to make peanut butter bars, instead I learned how to cut parchment paper
