With three children living at home, you be better believe we go through a lot of sweets. My kids love desserts and I’m happy to let them indulge after a great day of school and activities. I often don’t have a ton of time to bake during the week so I frequently turn to simple recipes like these No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars with Sea Salt. They come together so easily I don’t even have to turn on the oven!
The key to making this recipe go smoothly is setting out the ingredients before you get started. The recipe itself doesn’t really require much more than melting and stirring ingredients. It saves a lot of time when you have everything staged and ready to go! Then, get started, or put your kids to work, and slide in them in the fridge to chill.
Since these do require cooling time, I typically make them in the morning or late evening. This way they are ready to be cut and served after lunch or dinner, which is when everyone wants them! Sometimes I’ll serve these with vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
These bars really need to be stored in the fridge to keep their shape. I don’t recommend sending them to school in the lunchbox or transporting them for a snack. They don’t keep well that way and it will get very messy. You can, however, freeze them if they’re wrapped well in plastic and foil. When you’re ready to enjoy them, you can bring them back to room temperature by placing them on the countertop on a plate.
The best part about the flavor of these is that they really do taste like a few popular chocolate and peanut butter candy bars. In fact, I think they taste a lot better. If you’re having a party, you can cut these up into small squares and you’ve got a really yummy fancy dessert!
