Love baking but can’t bring yourself to turn on the oven at the moment? In many parts of the world, August isn’t exactly a time for spending hours chained to a hot oven. But it’s also a time for holidays.
And enjoying life.
And sweet treats. 
And that’s where these little no bake peanut butter & chocolate treats come in handy. You just need enough heat to melt some butter and some chocolate. Cool, easy and guaranteed to please a crowd.

- Yield: 16 squares 1x
Description
If you’ve ever dreamed of making your own Rees peanut butter cups, now you can. For a more adult version, feel free to use your favourite dark chocolate instead.
Ingredients
- 100g (3.5oz) butter, melted
- 100g (3.5oz) icing (powdered) sugar
- 100g (3.5oz) peanut butter
- 100g (3.5oz) milk chocolate
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Roughly line a small square or rectangular baking tin with baking or parchment paper.
- Combine sugar, peanut butter and half (50g / 1.7oz) the melted butter in a small bowl. Stir vigorously until there are no more sugar lumps.
- Meanwhile, break chocolate into small chunks and add to the remaining butter to melt the chocolate.
- Spoon the mixture into your prepared pan. And try and flatten evenly.
- When the chocolate has melted, stir to combine with the butter, then layer over the peanut butter fudge. Cool and refrigerate until firm. Cut into tiny squares.
I really love chocolates and this recipe is exciting for me as I do not have yet an oven. The recipe is simple and I think it is fast and easy to make. Copied the recipe to try it. Thanks!
I love that these are not individual candies like some recipes. Great idea!
