No-Bake Peanut Butter Dessert Bars
I've got the perfect cold treat for you that's super easy to make on a hot summer day (no oven required!). I adapted these No-Bake Peanut Butter Dessert Bars from Rachael Ray Magazine. They do container sugar, but it's nice to treat yourself every now and then.
Servings 18 bars
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1/2 cup peanut butter can sub almond butter
- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup chocolate chips I like Enjoy Life brand
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Line a 9" X 5" loaf pan with wax or parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter, sugar, cream cheese, and warm melted butter until well combined. Drop it by the spoonful (in chunks) onto the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a small pot, melt together the chocolate and cream on low heat. Stir until smooth, then pour on top of the peanut butter chunks and spread into one even layer.
- Cover and freeze for 1 to 2 hours or until the chocolate is set. Store the leftovers in the fridge.
