Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 11th of January 2022 

Sweet, tasty and nutty bars of delight!  These No Bake Bars are very easy to make with little work to do.  Mix everything together and make a dough and add melted chocolate to the top.  Simple! You can have these at a celebration or just as a personal treat. 

Notes 

  • Storing can be difficult because if you stack them, they will stick together due to the smooth peanut butter on top.  
  • It is fine to just have chocolate on top, which will make them easier to stack in a container.

Firmly press the base into the tin.
