To make these chocolate peanut butter bars, I started by dumping some Ritz crackers into a large Ziploc bag.

I used a rolling pin to crush the crackers well.

Then I dumped some butter into a glass measuring cup.

I microwaved the butter on high for 30 seconds.

Then I poured the partially melted butter into a large mixing bowl.

I added some smooth peanut butter to the bowl with the butter.

I used an electric mixer to cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth.

Then I added the Ritz cracker crumbs and some confectioner’s sugar to the bowl.

I continued mixing with the electric mixer until all of the ingredients were fully combined.

Then I scooped the mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

I dumped some semi sweet chocolate chips into a glass measuring cup.

Then I added some peanut butter.

I microwaved the peanut butter and chocolate chips on high for 45 seconds and then stirred them well.

The chocolate chips weren’t completely melted so I returned the glass measuring cup to the microwave for an additional 30 seconds.

Then I stirred again until all of the chocolate chips were completely melted.

I poured the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture in the baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Then I placed the baking dish in the refrigerator and left the peanut butter bars to chill for two hours.

After two hours I removed the dish from the fridge and sliced the bars.

I cut the pan into 24 large squares but you could cut them smaller if you prefer.

These no bake chocolate peanut butter bars are a simple but decadent treat.
