Description
These delightful no-bake peanut butter bars are sure to please everyone’s sweet tooth and you only need 5 simple ingredients to make them!
Peanut Butter Layer
Chocolate Layer
- Soak Dates and Prepare Pan: Soak the pitted dates in hot water for 10-15 minutes while you gather the rest of your ingredients and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Blend Peanut Butter Dough: In a food processor, combine 1 cup salted peanut butter, the soaked and drained dates, and the coconut flour and pulse a few times to begin to break up the dates. Drizzle in the coconut oil and mix until the dates are mostly chopped up and everything is evenly combined into a smooth mixture.
- Form Peanut Butter Layer: Firmly press the peanut butter dough into the prepared pan until you have a firm, even layer.
- Melt Chocolate: While the peanut butter layer is mixing together in the food processor, microwave the 3.5 oz chocolate bar and ¼ cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until all of the chocolate is melted. Stir to combine.
- Add Chocolate to Pan: Drizzle the chocolate layer on top of the peanut butter layer in the pan and smooth using a spatula or back or a spoon.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting and serving. When ready to cut, lift the bars out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
