You can get your Peanut Butter fix without turning the oven on when you make these Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars. So simple it’s criminal.

Peanut butter and gluten free barsOnce I open that jar of crunchy peanut butter it’s hard to stop eating it. It makes me crave sour dough toast with peanut butter and honey. Heaven help me if I ever come across a jar of Reese’s peanut butter chocolate spread that I have seen while poking about the internet, because there is every possibility I could explode. So, as I told you in my post last week, when I was making that rather snazzy Chicken Satay tray bake, I decided my own version of chocolate and peanut butter bars was in order.

Gluten Free Peanut bars

Now this no bake peanut butter chocolate slice/ bar is certainly nothing new and it is likely that you couldn’t say it was healthy but THIS version has very special qualities. Yes it has, Β it is not only a way to avoid turning on the oven,Β it also requires no special skills at all to make it, this is but this is still not what makes it different. These are Gluten Free Peanut Butter and Chocolate No Bake Bars. They were made entirely with my own selfish needs in mind. I had a few intolerants arriving to visit and an oven full of Chicken with Peanut sauce.Peanut Butter, gluten free bars

I added a few chia seeds to the mix as well just to add a bit more crunch and the perception of health ( how did that work?). It is easy to fool visitors. The best thing about this great old favourite slice is the fact that it keeps for a fair while. It is still an excellent old fashioned recipe but now it has a new gluten free life.

All you need to do is look around for some gluten free cookies. Rice cookies are perfect

    These sound and look amazing and I can eat everything in them – in small amounts though. The chia seeds are an extra plus.

    I love chocolate and peanut butter together. I ran out of PB the other day and had a slight panic. I go for smooth although I wouldn’t chuck either out of bed πŸ™‚

      Yes last summer I did a list of no bake desserts in the hope I would get the time to put them into a book. Time went by and I noticed them appearing more and more including your beautiful ons and Bake Play Smiles lovely white chocolate ones, so I went back to the drawing board to try and make them just a little different.

    I lol’d at ‘perception of health’. What if I left them out completely, does that mean I’m going straight to dietary hell??

    These look terrific!

    I hear you on peanut butter! I usually buy the peanut only varieties, but if I ever have the type with sugar/salt added, I have to bake with it or the jar is eaten plain way too quickly! These look delicious and just the thing for when that next happens πŸ™‚
