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.
Looking for more sweet treats using cookie dough? My friends are sharing some of their favorite again today. Scroll to the bottom of this post for more ideas!

- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 cups powder sugar
- 3 oz chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream

I'm with you--love buckeyes but hate making them. Great idea converting them to bars and I love that you swapped out the base for a peanut butter cookie dough base! Happy Chocolate Peanut Butter Day!

Ooooh I love how you developed this recipe-the almond flour sounds like it adds such a delicious, nutty element!

Roxana, I love that used the almond flour in these bars! I can imagine it would intensify the nutty taste! Buckeyes are my favorite dessert, I will have to give these a try for sure.

These sound delicious and relatively healthy. I don't have almond flour but I have sunflower seeds I could blend into a type of flour...I'll have to try it, and maybe add some flax seed meal for more fiber. It looks so simple and I'm pinning so I can try it later when I have room in my fridge :)

Hi Joybee, Instead of almond flour, you can finely grind almonds or even peanuts. Or use graham cracker crumbs or even all purpose flour.
