How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate No Bake Bars
- **Prepare the Peanut Butter Base:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup light corn syrup, and 3 cups powdered sugar.
- **Melt and Mix:** Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the butter and margarine are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- **Add Oats:** Remove from heat and stir in 3 cups quick-cooking oats until well combined.
- **Layer the Base:** Press the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan. Set aside.
- **Melt the Chocolate:** In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
- **Chocolate Peanut Butter Topping:** Stir in 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter until well combined.
- **Assemble the Bars:** Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the oat layer.
- **Add Nuts (Optional):** Sprinkle with ½ cup chopped peanuts or your favorite nuts.
- **Chill and Set:** Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate topping is firm.
- **Cut and Serve:** Cut into bars using a sharp knife. If the bars are difficult to cut, let them stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting.
