This recipe for No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars is super simple and tasty! The perfect quick and easy treat!

Christmas time is such a busy time of year. As much as I love spending time baking in the kitchen it’s so nice to have an easy and delicious recipe that can be quickly made. That’s why I love this recipe so much. You just mix together a few ingredients, press it into a pan and top it with chocolate and you are done!

It does need some time to chill but that doesn’t take any time away from you. I topped these with red and green sprinkles to make it the perfect quick Christmas treat!

These bars are pretty awesome. The peanut butter layer consists of butter, crushed graham crackers, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Then it’s topped with a little melted peanut butter and chocolate. This was my first time making no-bake peanut butter bars and I was impressed!

It’s such a delicious tasty dessert with such little effort. This would be the perfect neighbor treat for Christmas this year! You can cut the bars into large or small squares. Whichever you prefer.

Enjoy!Enjoy!
