These peanut butter and chocolate bars are the perfect no bake treat for those of us who just can’t resist peanut butter and chocolate!
Tired of peanut butter and chocolate? I hope not! These no bake peanut butter and chocolate bars should go on your must-make list asap!
Ever since I first tried buckeye truffles I’ve always wanted to recreate them but I never seem to find the time to do so. It may be just me, but it seems like it takes forever to shape each ball then half dip in chocolate.
But, just like lots of other simple things in life, I rarely notice them even if they in front of my nose.
It took me a while to realize I can actually spread the peanut butter mixture on the bottom of the pan and top with a thin layer of chocolate and have the irresistible treats in 10-15 minutes. 
My version of the buckeye bars is just a lit different. Instead of simply combining peanut butter, butter and sugar I made a peanut butter cookie dough. I still used peanut butter, butter and sugar but added some almond flour. I love the subtle nuttiness it gives to the bars.
