I’m not a fan of peanut butter. But knowing that the boyfriend loves it, I decided to try and make these no-bake peanut butter bars. Ah, the things you do for the people you love!
Ingredients:
- 200g graham crackers
- Your favorite peanut butter
- Chocolate spread
- 1/2 cup butter
Yup, that’s all. These ingredients are easily available and doesn’t cost much. For the graham crackers, you can also use biscuits or other crackers of your preference. I used creamy peanut butter for a creamy mixture but feel free to use the crunchy variant.
Procedure:
- Crush the graham crackers until they are powdery. I used the blender in crushing my grahams. You can also opt to buy crushed grahams instead.
- Melt the butter and add it to your crushed grahams.
- Add 1/2 cup of peanut butter into the mixture.
- Continue mixing the mixture until everything is incorporated.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper and spread your mixture into the baking pan.
- In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup of chocolate spread and 3 tbsp of peanut butter. Stir until smooth.
- Spread the chocolate spread mixture on top of the graham mixture.
- For the swirls on top, add more peanut butter on top of the chocolate mixture using a small spoon or spatula. Just freely swirl and you’ll get there!
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for it to set.
- Cut it according to your preferred size and serve!
This recipe is super easy and hassle free because you won’t actually need to bake it. If I were to do it again, I will make the crust thicker to ease the sweetness of the chocolate spread mixture. Also, feel free to substitute ingredients!
