How to Make Peanut Butter Dessert Bars
These “magic” bars are so easy to make and require just a few steps (full instructions are provided in the recipe card below).
- Make and bake the crust.
- Add peanut butter, chocolate, and sweetened condensed milk on top of the crust. Bake again.
- Drizzle with melted peanut butter and let cool.
The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is totally a classic, and I definitely embrace it with this recipe. The crust is a mixture of chocolate and regular graham crackers that get crushed together and then mixed with melted butter.ย
I use my favorite brand of creamy peanut butter for these magic bars. However, if you prefer the extra crunch that crunchy peanut butter adds, feel free to swap that in.
Once the bars all are baked and cooled, I cut them up and drizzle them with some more melted peanut butter. (Did I mention that I really LOVE peanut butter?!)
