Holiday Recipe #2: No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Sticking with the theme of "I-have-no-time-to-bake," here's a super quick, no-bake, all around favorite, which, will only take about 30 minutes to make!

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

What you need:

• 1/2 cup butter or Earth Balance Organic spread

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (Splenda has a blend you can use which works well too)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I like Madagascar Vanilla)

• 2 cups gluten free peanut butter

• 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

• 1-9x13 inch pan

Directions:

• Melt butter or margarine over low heat. Add sugars, peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well.

• Press into a 9 x 13 inch pan.

• Melt chocolate chips and spread over the top. Cool.

Cut into bars the size of your preference. Mine are usually about 1x2inches. Wrap in plastic wrap, then foil, and keep in a cool place.

I like to put my bars in the freezer for a few minutes before I serve them. Reminds me of freezing candy bars when I was a kid!
