Peanut Butter Crunch Bars
These no bake peanut butter crunch bars are an easy and simple dessert with only 6 ingredients. Both adult and kid approved!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup (165g) smooth peanut butter
- 2 cups (320g) semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups (105g) Rice Krispies (certified gluten free if making gluten free)
- 2 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper or saran wrap. Set aside.
- Add butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips to a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Heat in 30 second increments until fully combined and melted.
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Then add your rice krispies and gently fold together until completely coated.
- Dump the mixture into your lined 8x8 pan and gently spread and flatten the mixture. Don't push down too hard or you will end up with hard bars.
- Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the top. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours until set. Store in the fridge or at room temperature *(see notes) for 5 days and enjoy!
Notes
*These bars can be stored in the fridge or at room temperature. If you prefer them to be sweeter and gooier, store them at room temperature. If you prefer them a little less sweet and more firm, keep them in the fridge. I personally prefer them chilled.
