Peanut Butter Bars {No-Bake}

It was one of those days I always look forward to…chocolate and peanut butter together again!   

Shhhhh…It’s pretty much one of those days several times a week, but who’s counting, right? 🙂  

  Don’t these Peanut Butter Bars look absolutely delicious? 

They resemble a cross mix of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups & Butterfingers.  Sounds good to me!  I don’t know who invented these little gems, it’s a very popular recipe that’s been around for a very long time, and because this recipe is so good, it stays on everyone’s ‘chocolate & peanut butter radar’. 

They are so easy to make, because they are no-bake.  The hardest part of this home-made treat, is waiting for them to chill, so you can indulge, by serving yourself a delicious square or two (or three, but who’s counting?)! 

Perfect for sharing or when you want to indulge that sweet tooth every now and then, you can keep the remainder in the fridge, when you’re not scarfing them down. 🙂 

Yes, I know this!  Irresistible. Addicting. PB&C Lover.

Enjoy these tasty treats!  You’ll need an 8×8 baking pan or 9×9 baking pan.  

Or double the recipe and use a 9×13 pan. 🙂

Let’s Party!

Peanut butter and chocolate fans, will love these too!
