No bake peanut butter bars are a quick and easy dessert to make with no oven time required. An irresistible peanut butter base topped with rich chocolate tastes like 'homemade Reese's'!
Combine all ingredients, except chocolate chips, in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If it's too soft, add a little more powdered sugar. Press into a 9x13" pan and place in the refrigerator.
Melt chocolate chips with 1 Tablespoon peanut butter in the microwave (at 50% power) for 1-2 minutes or cook on the stove over a double broiler. Stir chocolate and pour over the peanut butter mixture. Spread chocolate with a spatula. To even out chocolate, tap pan on the counter.
Refrigerate bars until chocolate has hardened (about 30 minutes). Allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting so the chocolate doesn't crack. Enjoy!
Notes
These are best kept stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
To get a smooth cut, use a plastic knife.
Can sub with almond butter if there is a peanut allergy in your house.
