Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars.

Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, the bars that everybody LOVES! Suppose crisp, chewy, candy, peanut krispie deal with base, layered with creamy peanut butter, and topped with candy salted chocolate. All made with easy, healthful components: brown rice krispies, honey, pure maple syrup, pure peanut butter, and darkish chocolate. These bars are heavy on the peanut butter and chocolate, candy, salty, gluten-free, vegan, and, geez…they’re even no-bake! Each final chew is really scrumptious. 

Completely satisfied darn Friday everybody! I felt as if this week particularly wanted a candy and simple chocolate peanut butter recipe. I don’t know why precisely, but it surely simply appeared like we may all use these scrumptious bars this weekend.

So right here we’re. Yet one more chocolate peanut butter deal with that I’m approach too excited to share. This one was actually successful over right here.

Inspiration

Truthfully, how these got here to be I couldn’t let you know. It began with a scotcheroo recipe. Then changed into a mix of home made scotcheroos and home made peanut butter Twix bars.

To place it merely, I wished to make scotcheroos however I didn’t need to use butterscotch chips. I wished to keep away from overly processed sweets. Due to that, I stored excited about what else I may do. What taste may replicate the butterscotch? 

After which, it hit me. What if I did a mix of scotcheroos and peanutty Twix. I examined a number of issues and at first, I struggled. However then I obtained it proper. And nicely, now my dad’s declaring these his new favourite. And I assume everybody else up at my mother or father’s home is simply too.

Greater than something they love the way in which these style. The textures, the chewiness, the beneficiant quantity of peanut butter, and, after all, the thick layer of chocolate on high. However in addition they love understanding there aren’t any processed sugars, humorous components, or synthetic something concerned. 

Particulars – chewy peanut krispies 

I like to make use of brown rice krispies for a better-for-you choice. You don’t even style the distinction! The “stickiness” that holds the krispie layer collectively is a primary mixture of honey, maple syrup, after which somewhat little bit of peanut butter and coconut oil.

The secret is to make use of a mixture of honey and maple syrup. The honey is thicker and stickier than the maple. And when boiled down it truly is the glue that holds these treats collectively. 

If you’re strictly vegan, you may positively use all maple syrup. The bars will nonetheless be sticky and nice. Simply barely much less chewy than for those who had been to make use of a mixture of honey and maple. 

The peanutty/carmel like filling 

Primarily, this is identical gooey combine as above, simply completely different ratios and no honey. 

Peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil boiled collectively to thicken the combo. The key to creating this layer actually scrumptious is to make use of a pure peanut butter with simply peanuts and salt. Don’t use a no-stir peanut butter that incorporates oils and/or sugar. This offers you the very best taste and texture.

Pour the peanut butter layer over the chewy krispie treats, then freeze the bars. You solely want them to freeze them for half-hour to an hour or so. This helps the peanut butter arrange shortly so you may proceed on with the chocolate. 

When the peanut butter is chilled and stiff, pour some melted chocolate over high to complete the layers up. I prefer to slice the bars earlier than the chocolatey high turns into too laborious. This may make the bars a lot simpler to chop and prevents the peanutty filling from getting squished out.

And you then’re carried out. And belief me, you may need to double the batch as a result of these disappear quick. Everybody from my dad to Asher, to random mates who stopped in have devoured these. They are surely a favourite. 

It’s the chewy, salty, candy, chocolate, peanut butter mixture – it’s magic!
