No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars

No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars

Not overly sweet, and there’s just the tiniest hint of crunch in these peanut butter bars from the graham cracker crumbs. Also, the topping is smooth, creamy chocolate, blended with just a little bit more peanut butter. Think of them as Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on another level.
