No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Watch the video for this recipe:
As summer comes I started to enjoy no bake desserts more and more. These no bake chocolate peanut butter bars are so easy to prepare and are totally addictive. I knew I am going to like their taste, but didn't expect to love them so much. They also have this beautiful marbled effect on top, that hardly someone could say it takes no more than 20 minutes to prepare.
I've seen more similar recipes for chocolate peanut butter bars and was surprised to see that all have extra sugar, some even to 1 cup.
I added no extra sugar on these and they were sweet enough and hold their shape really well. The biscuits or graham crackers are already sweet and there is no need for extra sugar from my point of view.
You can never go wrong when pairing chocolate with peanut butter. Even if you don't like peanut butter you are going to love these bars. The flavors combine so well, a bit of sweet, salty, chocolaty, nutty flavor, mmmm...totally amazing.
You can hardly stop to one bar, therefore I suggest to freeze some bars from the beginning if you want to have for later, either wise you risk to eat them all in one day :) Enjoy my friends.

- Makes about 9-12 servings
- Base
- 7 oz (200g) digestive biscuits (graham crackers)
- 1/3 cup (70g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (120 g) crunchy or creamy peanut butter
- Chocolate Layer
- 7 oz (200 g) bittersweet chocolate (55%-70% cocoa)
- 1/4 cup (60g) creamy peanut butter, divided
- Place the biscuits (or graham crackers if used) into the bowl of a food processor and blend until crumbs form. Add peanut butter and melted butter and process until completely combined and the mixture holds together.
- Slightly grease a 8x8 inch (20x20cm) square pan and line with parchment paper, in such a way that some edges are longer to make it easy to lift it up once it's set.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking pan and press with the back of the spoon to create a smooth surface.
- Melt chocolate and 2 tbsp (30g) of creamy peanut butter over bain marie, over low heat. Stir until smooth. Meanwhile place the other 2 tbsp (30g) of peanut butter into a small sauce pan over low heat and stir until melted and smooth. Spread the chocolate over peanut butter layer. Add teaspoons of melted peanut butter on top and with a knife create swirls on the surface.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours to set. Let it sit 10 minutes at room temperature before cutting. Bars can be frozen well. Enjoy!

hehe :) glad to hear that Lance.

So glad they turned great for you:) We really love them too

Digestive Biscuits are very similar to graham cracker therefore you can use same amounts .. Europeans are probably more used with the name "digestive " biscuits..

So glad you enjoyed this recipe too.. Just checked your link.. it turned really beautiful. Good Job.

So glad to hear that.. I am sure they were delicious this way too.

sure.. bittersweet chocolate is dark chocolate.. use same amount.

I am so glad Amentha that you and your family enjoyed this recipe:) Hope you will try some more and let me know, maybe even send me photos on Facebook or tag me on Instagram. Best, Ella

You can make like 3 or 4 tbsp cocoa powder with 4 tbsp sugar.. and about 1 tbsp butter and around 3 tbsp of water.. Heat it on stove top.. stirring continuesly until it gets dark and all melted.. pour it over, make swirls with the peanut butter and let it set.

You should definitely not feel like an idiot.. everybody who tries new recipes may end up with a failure from time to time... It's hard for me to figure it out as I was not there with you to see...I am not sure what type of peanut butter did you use. that might be the reason, also don't use hot melted butter.. melt it and let it cool a bit before adding over the biscuits. I did it recently for an anniversary and turned great.. hope you will try it again

I am not sure what went wrong for you.. everytime I make this recipe with digestive biscuits works perfectly

that's weirs.. maybe it's from the peanut butter you used.. I am not sure why for some this recipe does not work..

I am so happy about that Maire.. same here.. not big fans of peanut butter but in this combination is simply great.. I will try with oreo cookies too .. sounds like a great idea:)

yes.. dark chocolate.. milk chocolate should work too if you like it better

I am sorry for the late answer.. hope you tried the recipe. .I am sure the American garden;s peanut butter should work.. I always use different brands and works all the time
