Gluten-Free No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Creamy peanut butter, rich chocolate, and no oven required? Yes, please!
These No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are one of those simple desserts that disappear fast. With a buttery peanut butter layer topped with smooth chocolate, they taste a little like a homemade peanut butter cup—only easier.
And the best part? You can have these mixed together in about 15 minutes. Perfect for warm summer days when turning on the oven sounds about as appealing as pulling weeds at noon in July.
Whether you’re serving them at a cookout, taking them to a family gathering, or sneaking one with an afternoon cup of coffee (I won’t tell 😉), these easy no-bake bars are sure to become a favorite.

Bridget’s Recipe Notes
Peanut Butter: I like to use Skippy Natural Peanut Butter.
Not Gluten-Free? These bars are easy to make with gluten by replacing the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs with regular crumbs.
