I don’t know about you, but in the summer I don’t feel like turning on the oven. Enter…no bake desserts! Perfect for summer or any time of year. 🙂
These Peanut Butter Cup Bars are seriously addicting. Only six ingredients come together to create sweet and salty deliciousness. All the goodness of a Reese’s peanut butter cup, but refined sugar and dairy free (depending what kind of chocolate chips you use.)
Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl, melt the chocolate chips and pop it in the freezer to harden. Couldn’t be much easier! The peanuts on top are optional, but I like the extra added crunch.
If you’re nut free, tahini would be a great option as well. I hope you love these bars as much as I do! Make sure to tag me on Instagram @laurenslovelykitchen if you give them a try!
