Simple homemade No Bake Peanut Butter Bars are made with a few ingredients and taste just like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!
Oh, peanut butter cups, my first love! I can't remember my first encounter, but I can tell you my last encounter was just the other day. Those little beauties were dressed in red and green and all ready for Christmas! If you bring me a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup I am gonna be your best friend forever. Seriously. Who doesn't love the amazing combination of peanut butter and chocolate?!
During the summer my uncle made these no bake peanut butter bars, and when I tried them I knew that I had to make them, as quickly as possible, because they were the best homemade peanut butter bars ever. Of course I will eat anything (almost) with peanut butter in the title. Love peanut butter as much as I do?
