Indulge in rich, creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Dream Bars combining smooth peanut butter and luscious chocolate in a simple, no-bake dessert that’s perfect for satisfying any sweet craving. These bars offer a perfectly balanced flavor, easy preparation, and versatility for every occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this evenly into a greased baking pan to create a firm and flavorful foundation for your bars.
  2. Mix the Peanut Butter Filling: In a separate bowl, stir together smooth peanut butter and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth. Adding vanilla extract at this stage helps enhance the overall flavor.
  3. Assemble the Bars: Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust. Make sure you smooth it out with a spatula for an even layer of creamy goodness.
  4. Melt the Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt chocolate chips gently until glossy and smooth. Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the assembled bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so the layers can set firmly. Once chilled, cut into squares and enjoy your dreamy dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality peanut butter and chocolate for the best taste.
  • Press the graham cracker crust firmly to ensure a sturdy base that holds the bars well.
  • Adjust powdered sugar quantity carefully to balance sweetness.
  • Smooth out each layer for clean, professional-looking bars.
  • Chill bars thoroughly before slicing to maintain shape and texture.
