No Bake Easter Peanut Butter Bars
A festive and sweet snack that requires no baking, these No Bake Easter Peanut Butter Bars are perfect for sharing with family and friends during the holiday season.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups creamy peanut butter use natural, no-stir for smooth texture
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 12 full sheets, crushed in a zip-top bag
- ¾ cup powdered sugar or powdered monk fruit for a lighter touch
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup adds glue-like smoothness
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted room temperature for easy mixing
- Pinch fine sea salt balances the sweet
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips Ghirardelli or your fave brand
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter helps the chocolate set shiny
- Pastel sprinkles or mini Easter candies optional but oh-so-festive
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, honey, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Add powdered sugar and graham crumbs, press the mixture into the pan.
- In a small bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil. Pour over the chilled base, sprinkle with pastel candies or sprinkles.
- Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes until set. Lift out parchment and slice into bars. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
Notes
For nut-free or sugar-free options, use almond or sunflower seed butter, and sugar-free chocolate chips. The bars can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to one month.
