No Bake EASY & Delicious Peanut Butter Bars

I am so excited to be able to share this recipe with you. Growing up, I always made these during the holiday season with my Grandma. These delicious bars are a family favorite, and I can’t believe I haven’t shared them with you yet. They kind of taste like a Reese’s only better. In my opinion anyway. Try them out and let me know what you think! I would love to hear from you!

1 cup butter melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs- Crush by hand or in a good processor
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup + 4 tablespoons peanut butter
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

Mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9×13 inch pan. You can use a smaller pan if you choose, they will just be thicker in size. In the microwave, melt the chocolate chips in a small bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until melted until smooth. Spread over the peanut butter layer evenly. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares. You’re welcome!

Finding Multiple Breast Lumps and Needing an MRI

After the first mammogram I found myself back at the breast surgeon for the test results. Much to my surprise, there were multiple cysts found during the scan and the surgeon needed to take a closer look. Once the lengthly ultrasound scan was complete, he said I simply had too many cysts and he could […]

Finding the First Lump

Found a lump. Now what? Finding the first lump was a total fluke. It wasn’t because I was doing the heroic thing of performing a self-exam, like all women should do. Given my family history of breast cancer, you’d think this would be something I was already doing. I could come up with many excuses […]

Testing Positive for BRCA1

Be your own hero. You are much stronger than you think you are. Trust me. BRCA 1 & BRCA 2 mutations can increase the risk of breast cancer by up to 80% and the risk of ovarian cancer by 45% When I found out I tested positive for the BRCA mutation, I didn’t cry. In […]

These peanut butter bars look AMAZING! I love it that they are cut so perfectly (do you have a tip on how to do that?) I just shared this as a “WOW FACTOR” from our party today on Ducks’ n a Row. Get ready for lots of traffic 🙂

Thank you!!!!!!! I appreciate you! I place another pan on top of the peanut butter to sort of flatten it out 😉
