Ultimate Crunchy Peanut Butter Bars Recipe
  • Prep Time

  • Cook Time
    5 mins
  • Total Time
    15 mins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of plant-based butter, like the delightful Country Crock® Plant Butter
  • 1 cup of erythritol confectioners' sweetener, a sweet sensation like Swerve®
  • A generous cup of graham cracker crumbs for that perfect base
  • 1/2 cup of smooth and creamy peanut butter for a nutty twist
  • 1 cup of dark chocolate chips, the decadent kind akin to Lily's®
  • 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter for an extra layer of flavor

Step 1

Prepare a delectable treat by lining an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring the ends extend over the sides for easy removal later on. Start by heating plant-based butter in the microwave until it melts into a velvety texture. Combine the now-liquid butter with confectioners' sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and a generous portion of peanut butter. Mix this delightful concoction thoroughly before firmly pressing it into the base of the pan.

Step 2

Next, it's time to work on the luscious chocolate layer. Heat chocolate chips along with a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter in the microwave for bursts of 45 seconds, stirring in between, until the mixture becomes a smooth, gooey consistency. Pour this decadent chocolate blend over the peanut butter and graham cracker base, using an offset spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 3

Pop the pan into the refrigerator for roughly 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to semi-harden. Once the time is up, carefully score the chocolate layer with a knife to prevent it from cracking when cut into bars later. Return the pan to the fridge for another 30 minutes until the dessert sets and firms up.

Step 4

To serve, lift the dessert out of the pan by pulling on the extended parchment paper and slice it into mouthwatering bars. Enjoy the rich, creamy goodness of these delightful treats!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. When it comes to storing your delectable Crunchy Peanut Butter Bars, a few handy tips will ensure they stay fresh and delicious for as long as possible.
  2. First and foremost, make sure to let the bars cool completely before attempting to store them. This will help maintain their texture and prevent them from becoming soggy. Once cooled, store the bars in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag to keep them fresh.
