No-Bake Peanut Butter Crunch Bars

No-Bake Peanut Butter Crunch Bars

​The Lineup

• ​Peanut Butter: 3/4 cup (creamy or crunchy)
• ​Melted Butter: 3/4 cup (180ml)
• ​Biscuits: 2 cups crushed (Marie, Digestive, or Graham Crackers)
• ​Sweetener: 1 cup icing sugar
• ​Flavor: 1 tsp vanilla essence
• ​Topping: 1 cup chopped chocolate + 1 tsp butter
• ​Texture: 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (or preferred nuts)

​Preparation Steps

​Cream the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, icing sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla. Whisk or beat the mixture until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.

​Add the Crunch: Fold in the crushed biscuits and chopped nuts. Stir thoroughly until the dry ingredients are fully coated and the mixture is uniform.

​Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly into an even layer.

​Melt the Topping: Combine the chocolate and 1 tsp of butter. Melt them using a microwave (in 30-second bursts) or a double boiler.

​Pro Tip: If using a double boiler, ensure the bottom of your bowl doesn't touch the simmering water to prevent the chocolate from seizing.

​Finish & Chill: Pour the smooth chocolate over the peanut butter base. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm. Slice into squares and enjoy!

​Quick Tips for Success

​Biscuit Choice: Stick to "hard" biscuits like Marie or Digestives. Avoid soft or cake-like cookies, as they won't provide the necessary structure.

​Chocolate Variety: Feel free to swap between dark, milk, or even semi-sweet chocolate chips depending on your preferred sweetness level.
