Instructions
Creating Reese’s Peanut Butter No-Bake Bars is an enjoyable process. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Stir until well mixed.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the creamy peanut butter and melted butter. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and form a thick mixture.
4. Press Mixture: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down evenly into the bottom.
5. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and two tablespoons of peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth and melted.
6. Spread Chocolate Layer: Once melted, pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
7. Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the bars are set.
8. Slice Bars: After chilling, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place them on a cutting board and slice into squares.
9. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for an added touch of flavor.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bars immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for later enjoyment.
These steps ensure that you can whip up these delicious treats with ease, making them a wonderful addition to any dessert repertoire.
