These No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are an easy foolproof dessert. Made with only 5 ingredients, they are sweet and rich.
If you're looking for some decadent bars that are hard to put down, you've come to the right place! These No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
They are sweet and rich. These bars are one of my favorite desserts I've made so far.
Peanut butter and chocolate is my favorite go-to combo for desserts, but these are beyond my favorite combo good!
Another peanut butter and chocolate combination is my Snicker Dates. They are also hard to put down.
Instructions
- Add peanut butter to a saucepan. Add sweetened condensed coconut milk. Cook until melted. Add salt.
- Add rice crisp cereal - I used brown rice crisp cereal. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour into a baking dish that's been greased with coconut oil. Pat down to condense the bars. Refrigerate 2-3 hours.
- Pour chocolate chips into a heat safe bowl. Place over a saucepan that has a couple of inches of water in it. This will act as a double boiler. (If you have a double boiler, use that.)
- Melt the chocolate chips, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add coconut oil. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour over peanut butter layer. Place in the fridge to set, about 2 hours.
Storage
These bars last about a week in an airtight container in the fridge.
Can I Store These at Room Temperature?
Since these contain sweetened condensed coconut milk, they need to be stored in the fridge.
Tips
- It can be hard this time of year to find certain items in the grocery store, and with shipping delays, even harder. If you can't find sweetened condensed coconut milk you can use sweetened condensed oat milk. I tried both when making this recipe.
- You could also try homemade sweetened condensed coconut milk, which I don't yet have a recipe for, but there are plenty online.
Variations
- Almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter
- Chocolate chips folded in instead of a chocolate layer on top
- Roasted peanuts folded in
- Maple syrup or agave syrup instead of sweetened condensed coconut milk
