TIPS FOR MAKING PEANUT BUTTER BARS

For the perfect peanut butter to chocolate ratio, use an 8 inch square pan. Line it with baking or parchment paper so it’s easy to get the bars out when they’re ready.
These bars are super quick and easy to make but they need to time to set. Make sure you give them plenty of time in the fridge to get firm!
Store these Peanut Butter Bars in the fridge when you’re not eating them. They keep well for up to 5 days or you can even freeze them. They’re delicious at any temperature – trust me!

What peanut butter should I use?

I recommend using a full fat, processed peanut butter for this recipe. I don’t recommend using a ‘healthy’ peanut butter as the natural oils tend to seperate and the bars won’t set properly. Try brands like Bega Peanut Butter in Australia, or Skippy or Jif in America.

HOW TO CUT PEANUT BUTTER BARS

To cut the bars nicely, you need to make sure the chocolate isn’t too cold or it will crack. The slice needs to set in the fridge. However, once you add the chocolate, you can leave the slice at room temperature temporarily – just for the chocolate to set. This will make it easy to cut without the chocolate cracking. Alternatively, put the slice in the fridge to set, but let it come to room temperature before cutting. Using a serrated knife will also help!
