When she adds the ‘2 cups’ of chocolate chips to the dough, the ingredient list says 1-12 oz bag. Which is not 2 cups. So I am going to do the 1.5 cups not the 2.
Much better than the briquette. Maybe I will do more with this! Mike Stice.
I have made these several times! Easy and very rich!! If the dessert has been in the refrigerator long.. allow time to warm up before cutting. This recipe is getting a reputation with my friends and family. Loving it!!
Could you sub oats for the vanilla wafers
A coworkers mother had made the No Bake Peanut Butter bars for us . We could not stop eating them . They were absolutely delicious. If there were more than a 5 star rating I mark it.
Another great recipe from Rea Drummond ‼️
AMAZING! So delicious and so easy to make.
These were really good. Cross between a bar and candy, rich. I lined pan with non stick foil so I could pull out of pan easy which made for easier cutting. Having celiac I bake gluten free, so I was not able to use vanilla wafers. Used gluten free graham cracker crumbs-2 cups for base and 1/4 cup for sprinkling on top mixed with a little cinnamon. A little sweet, I think it is combination of sugar, mini chips and graham cracker crumbs ( or vanilla wafers) in base. Wonder if using dark chocolate for topping would cut the sweetness, will try that next time. May cut back on sugar too. The sweetness didn’t stop me from eating them though. Used creamy peanut butter for base and topping. Yummy. Great treat for peanut butter/chocolate lovers.
These are fantastic! My 10 and 12 yr olds made them this week. We only have creamy peanut butter; tossed in a handful of crushed peanuts to simulate crunchy. Sprinkled a little kosher salt on top. Amazingly good and simple.
I made these for my son on his 18th birthday! They were a huge hit! Delicious!
