    No bake chocolate and Peanut butter bars

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Non-peanut butter lovers look away now please, because these no-bake chocolate peanut butter bars are alllllll ’bout that butter!

    After my fascination with no-bake cheese cakes, and blonde brownies, these have made a permanent home in my heart! These bars are made with a smooth and silky chocolate layer over a thick and equally smooth peanut butter crumb layer. And both of them together just take you to that “ummmmmm aaaaaaa” zone, where you can forget all the worries of the world

    I usually write long and lengthy posts explaining to you how everything works and how to fix problems that you might run into but these Chocolate and Peanut butter bars are soooooo forgiving that even if you get something wrong, they will still set and still taste amazing!!! (provided that you are a peanut butter fan of course)

    2 small plates with 2 pieces of chocolate peanut butters bars each and a spoon in each plate. A baking tray containing remaning chocolate peanut butter bar shows from the top left corner. everything is place on a blue background

    Quick steps to make these delicious bars

    So you literally only need 5 ingredients to pull these bars off! There’s obviously chocolate and peanut butter. Then there is cream and biscuit crumb for texture, and honey for sweetener.

    You will also need a 9 by 9 inch pan to set your bars in. I prefer lining the pan with parchment paper so that I can remove the bars easily later.

    Peanut butter layer of the bar

    For the peanut butter layer I used sweetened commercially produced smooth peanut butter. I feel like this bar is super decadent and smooth so chunky peanut butter is a no-go for me. But if you like a little crunch in your bars, go ahead with the chunk.

    Heat up the peanut butter in the microwave to get it in a more liquid-y state. And on the other side use a food processor to crush all the digestive biscuit into crumbs. For this layer I used peanut butter, cream, sugar and biscuit. You can skip the sugar if you want. I mixed everything together and tossed them on to the baking pan.

    Make sure you press the crumbs down nicely along the edges evenly.

    Chocolate layer of the bar

    I looooove how this recipe doesn’t need any stove use. Keep the cream and honey in the microwave for 30 secs and mix well. Keep it for another 30 secs and add in your chocolate. Mix your chocolate with a spatula. If it doesn’t mix well anymore, and the ganache seems to have cooled down, keep it in the micro for another 30 secs

    IMPORTANT! Keeping your ganache or cream in the micro for longer than 30 sec increments may cause it to burn from the edges. So it’s important to only keep the ganache in the micro for 30 secs at a time.

    Once you get a nice smooth mix, pour it onto the peanut butter layer, spreading it out evenly with your spatula. Now you can opt for a nice texture on the top or keep as is.

    I like to melt 1 tbsp of peanut butter in the microwave and drizzle it all over the chocolate in a random fashion. I then use a tooth pick to create a swirl-like pattern on top! Perfect picture!

    Setting time

    Refrigerate the bar after all the swirling action. The bar sets quite nicely within 2 hours in the fridge. You can also chuck in the freezer for 20 mins if you can’t wait for that long (wink wink).

    Tip: Use a hot knife to cut the bars to get clean smooth edges.

    These bars can last for up to 2 weeks in the fridge and up-to 3 months in the freezer.
