Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars #SundaySupper

Just like every other busy parent, I am always looking for easy things to make in the kitchen. I was so excited when I saw this week’s #SundaySupper theme – Dishes in 5 ingredients or less! This was something right up my alley! I call myself a throw together chef. I will pretty much throw anything together to make a one pot dish hoping it tastes good. Then there are the dishes that have 5 or less ingredients and you know from the start that they are going to taste amazing! Case in point…No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars.

DH surprised me with these bars one evening after work. I just love when he finds new recipes to make, especially ones that are a treat and contain the ultra incredible combination of chocolate and peanut butter!

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup butter, melted
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar

Directions
1. In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, confectioners’ sugar, peanut butter and melted butter.
2. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan.
3. Melt chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.
4. Spread melted chocolate over the crumb crust.
5. Chill for about 5 minutes, then cut into bars before the chocolate is completely set, then chill until ready to serve.

I will say, you should probably follow the directions and cut the bars before they are completely set and fully chilled. DH had them in the fridge a good few hours before cutting our pan into squares. I should have said chiseling! That crust was very hard to cut. You can kinda tell by the lack of a smooth edge in the first picture.  And the rest of them too.  🙂

Rough edge or not, these bars were delicious! They were the perfect ratio of chocolate and peanut butter. Some think they are like a peanut butter cup, but the texture is completely different. They are definitely a cookie type bar. I liked cutting the bars into small 1 inch squares for a little bite size treat. The guys in my office sure made fast work of the container I took in for them. They were gone before lunch.

So there is my tasty treat to make with 5 ingredients or less. There are so many more fast and easy recipes from the #SundaySupper crew all featuring 5 ingredients or less as well! Take some time and check a few out. I am sure you won’t be disappointed!
