No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

No Bake Peanut Butter Bars are an easy no bake dessert!

If you love peanut butter and chocolate as much as my family does, these are a must make!

Peanut butter and chocolate are a classic combination. They go together so well.

No-bake Peanut Butter Treats are a recipe I used to make all the time. Then my daughter developed her peanut allergy. For years, we kept our home completely nut and peanut butter free, so I could not make this recipe.

Now that she no longer lives at home, I am having fun making all my favorite peanut butter desserts like these bars.

I made these peanut butter bars recently, and I knew that it was time to update the recipe and pictures.

I love that these no bake peanut butter bars are a no bake dessert because they are perfect for summer.

They are also easy to make gluten-free with gluten-free graham crackers.

If you do not need a huge batch, although they are so good you might want a full pan, you can cut the recipe in half and make them in a smaller pan.

If you want to change them up a little, use chocolate graham crackers. I actually love to use gluten-free chocolate graham crackers if I can find them.

Chocolate graham crackers make them double chocolate, and they are delicious! I love the extra chocolate that the chocolate graham crackers give them

Menu Plan April Week 2

It is the time of year when I struggle to menu plan because the weather is all over the place. Sometimes, it is cool outside, and I want a bowl of soup. Other days are warm, and I feel like a big salad for dinner. This week’s menu plan is a mix of both.
