    No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

    This no-bake chocolate peanut butter bar recipe is the perfect embodiment of that magic that chocolate and peanut butter create when paired together. They are layered on top of a crushed graham cracker crust which gives the perfect crunchy base for all that chocolatey nutty deliciousness. I have been obsessed with chocolate and peanut butter together for most of my life and it’s funny that now I live in Europe people think I am crazy for it. They can call me crazy all they want, or think what they wish, but no way, no how will I ever renounce my deep and true love for peanut butter and chocolate.

    I love no-bake cookies, especially in those summer months when turning on that oven just sounds like a horrible thing to do.  If you’re in that same camp – you should check out these  Super Easy Nutella No-Bake Cookies. My mom made them all the time growing up and they’re ridiculously easy and require zero heating up of the oven either.  🙂

    There’s only about 30 minutes of prep time to make these Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, then you just let them chill in the fridge for a while and soon you’ll be enjoying about 2 dozen slabs of crispy, nutty, chocolatey deliciousness.  These bars will keep for several days (yeah, right) at room temperature, but I love them cold out of the fridge.
