We use a natural crunchy pb for the base, and creamy for the topping. Always a crowd pleaser, and easy to double!ReplyI had several months where I was making these every week for a sweet treat. I love them! I would freeze them and let them thaw for a bit before eating.ReplyGreat ideas. Changed mine up. PB protein + choc PB protein, stevia and water. way less carbs and sugar.ReplySadly these didn’t turn out great for me – the pb layer didn’t firm up and they were a mess cutting because the chocolate layer was hard and the pb layer squished out everywhere. I think it’s because of the peanut butter I used – Whole Foods 365 natural creamy. It’s thin, drizzlable pb. I would recommend a thicker pb – if you wanna go for natural get the no-stir kind. They still taste great and I’m going to keep them in the fridge to stay as firm as possible. But wanted to share this experience in case it helps others!ReplyThese are delicious, easy,no bake, peanut butter chocolate bars. I love them and so did my Dad! I’m making him a batch for Fathers day 2023Thank youReplyCan you use natural peanut butter?ReplyLogging this as one of my favorite, easy desserts.
