No Bake Peanut Butter Bars are an easy no bake dessert!
If you love peanut butter and chocolate as much as my family does, these are a must make!
Peanut butter and chocolate are a classic combination. They go together so well.
No-bake Peanut Butter Treats are a recipe I used to make all the time. Then my daughter developed her peanut allergy. For years, we kept our home completely nut and peanut butter free, so I could not make this recipe.
Now that she no longer lives at home, I am having fun making all my favorite peanut butter desserts like these bars.
I made these peanut butter bars recently, and I knew that it was time to update the recipe and pictures.
I love that these no bake peanut butter bars are a no bake dessert because they are perfect for summer.
They are also easy to make gluten-free with gluten-free graham crackers.
If you do not need a huge batch, although they are so good you might want a full pan, you can cut the recipe in half and make them in a smaller pan.
If you want to change them up a little, use chocolate graham crackers. I actually love to use gluten-free chocolate graham crackers if I can find them.
Chocolate graham crackers make them double chocolate, and they are delicious! I love the extra chocolate that the chocolate graham crackers give them
They are the perfect quick and easy dessert. And now I remember why I missed them so much!
