Instructions
- Line your 8×8 glass baking dish with parchment paper overlapping the sides for ease of removal.
- Add the crust ingredients to your food processor and blend until you can pinch the ingredients together between your fingers and it sticks.
- Dump the crust mixture into your pan and press the mixture evenly throughout the bottom of the pan using your palms or the backside of a measuring cup. Ensure that the mixture is firmly pressed down.
- Add all of the filling ingredients into your food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the filling atop the crust and spread it out with a spatula.
- Optional: Add peanuts and/or mini chocolate chips to the top.
- Cover and freeze until solid.
- Before serving, remove from the pan and slice into squares.
- Let the bars thaw for 10 minutes before serving.
- Freeze for storage.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
- If your peanut butter is very thick, microwave it for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to blend.
- To prevent the bars from sticking, lightly grease the parchment paper before adding the crust.
