Instructions
Making Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Bars is straightforward if you follow these simple instructions:
1. Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, and cocoa powder. Stir until well blended.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir until everything is fully incorporated and forms a sticky batter.
5. Press into Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly into an even layer.
6. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips for 30 seconds. Stir and continue heating in 15-second increments until melted and smooth.
7. Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed mixture in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly across the top.
8. Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the bars.
9. Slice and Serve: Once set, remove from the fridge and lift out of the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!
