Penzeys No Bake Peanut Butter Bars Recipes

Steps:

• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Heat, uncovered, until warmed, 20-30 seconds. Stir until smooth; add remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Transfer to a lightly greased 13x9-inch pan; gently press mixture into pan. Cover and refrigerate until set, 1 hour or overnight. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, stir together the butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until well blended. Mix in the rice cereal so that it is evenly distributed. Press the mixture into the prepared pan.
• In the microwave or over a double boiler, melt chocolate chips, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter bars. Refrigerate until set before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. One third of a box is usually one cellphane wrapped package. Mix in the cinnamon and set aside.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla and mix well. Add the powdered sugar and graham crackers, stir until well combined (it should be a stiff dough, you may want to use a hand mixer).
• Pat the mixture into an ungreased 9x13 pan.
• Melt the chocolate over low heat in a heavy saucepan, or spread evenly in a glass pie plate and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each 30 seconds, until melted.
• Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer.
• Refrigerate for one hour, bring to room temperature, and cut into bars.

Steps:

• For the filling: Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with some butter.
• Using a stand or electric hand mixer, mix together the butter and chunky peanut butter until smooth. Stir in the sugar a cup at a time.
• Add the vanilla wafers to a food processor and process until they are in crumbs. Then add the crumbs and mini chocolate chips to the peanut butter mixture. Spread it evenly into the buttered pan and set aside.
• For the frosting: Using a double boiler or a microwave, melt the chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then pour over the base. Spread the frosting out evenly and sprinkle over the chopped peanuts. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then cut into 20 bars.

Steps:

• Make the base: Heat butter in a pot or skillet, letting it melt and bubble and turn brown. It will smell nutty. Add peanut butter, and turn off the heat. (If your nut butter is unsalted, add a pinch of salt.) Stir it all around until the peanut butter melts, then stir in crumbs.
• Sweeten the mix to taste with confectioners' sugar. That could mean 1 cup, but try it as you go.
• Spread the mixture into parchment or foil lined 8-by-8-inch pan, but really, any pan will work.
• Make the topping: Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small pot, and melt the chocolate on the stovetop over low heat, stirring constantly. (Alternatively, add to a microwaveable bowl, and microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between each one.)
• Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle any of the toppings over, and refrigerate until the peanut butter and chocolate layers are set, about 1 hour or so. Cut these into bars or squares with a knife, or use cookie cutters for shapes. (Store in the refrigerator after cutting; they'll melt in a warm room.)
