This is one of those desserts that's so easy to make it's unbelievable! I'm craving a peanut butter bar as I'm typing this because they're just that good.

I think these bars are so versatile. They're good for large gatherings or for an after-school treat. Plus, no baking is required for this recipe!

This recipe was inspired by my triple chocolate chip muffins, which is another easy and delicious recipe.

Pour the chocolate over the first layer in the baking pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Hint: The longer you chill the bars, the better. Aim to chill the bars for at least an hour before serving.

Equipment

  • Two mixing bowls
  • An 8x8 baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • A spatula

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to seven days.

Top tip

Do not microwave the chocolate for more than 30 seconds at a time. It's hard to fix chocolate that has burned.
