How to Make Penzey's No Bake Peanut Butter Bars
- Crush 1 ½ cups (about 10 full-size graham crackers) into fine crumbs using a food processor or zip-top bag and rolling pin.
- Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the graham cracker crumbs and mix well.
- Melt ½ cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the cinnamon graham cracker crumbs and 1 ½ cups powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. (Microwave method: Stir every 30 seconds to prevent burning).
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set completely.
- Bring to room temperature before cutting into bars for easier serving.
