No Bake Peanut Butter Bars
My Grandma calls these no-bake Peanut Butter Bars “Almost Reese’s” for good reason—they’re as close to the real deal as I’ve ever tasted. They come together in 10 minutes with only 5 ingredients and they’re naturally gluten-free; the only hard part is trying not to eat them all.

Ingredients
Directions
13 STEPS
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it overhangs on the sides for easy removal.
2
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the light brown sugar and stir until smooth.
3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter. Allow the mixture to cool.
4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5
Once the butter mixture has cooled, stir in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
6
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix to create a thick, dough-like batter.
7
Fold in 2/3 of the semi-sweet chocolate chunks.
8
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
9
Sprinkle the remaining semi-sweet chocolate chunks evenly over the batter, lightly pressing them in.
10
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are slightly browned.
11
Allow the bars to cool in the pan.
12
Using the parchment paper, lift the bars from the pan before cutting them into 9 squares.
13
Serve the Chocolate Dream Peanut Butter Bars and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
This is my idea of oatmeal. Smothered with chocolate chips and a hearty dose of peanut butter stirred in. It’s like eating oatmeal in portable form, except better, but the bars still taste more like breakfast than dessert. The bars are soft, chewy, and filling. They’re definitely on the denser side ...
