If you wish to give it the right shape and a sense of chewiness and crispy edge, don't forget to add some Graham’s crackers to your peanut butter bars.

• Finally, some chocolate chips- You should not miss out on chocolate chips when you are making peanut butter bars. This pair was made in heaven.

General tips to make peanut butter bars

So with peanut butter bars, you don't need to bake them! With baking out of our way, the process becomes faster and easier. First of all, you should melt the butter and acquire a smooth consistency. Then you can make fine crumbs of the Graham’s cracker and add them to the mixture. Powdered sugar and more butter is poured into the pan. Now you will acquire a smooth and gooey consistency over a sheet pan over which you should drop another layer of melted peanut butter and chocolate chips. Allow the arrangement to set well inside the refrigerator for a while. Once the peanut butter sheet has hardened, you can cut it into small sizes, in the form of bars or smaller candies.

This is probably the easiest dessert you will come across and the simplest way to lure your child towards something that they love and are addicted to, to make them have healthy portions on their plates.

How long should you let it cool

Allow the peanut butter sheet to sit in the refrigerator for about two hours for best results. Once done, make sure you bring out the tray and set it at room temperature for another ten minutes before you begin to slice. They are best enjoyed when consumed cold and chewy.

Storing the peanut butter bars

All the leftover bars can be covered with a thin sheet of butter or wrapped as toffee and stored in an airtight container. If you refrigerate them then you can make them last up to a week. If you are planning to freeze them, they can remain fresh for three months at least. Thaw overnight and enjoy!
