I know I said awhile back that I had found my go-to dessert for this summer. But, I’ve changed my mind! There are lots of no bake recipes to choose from, but I’ve found a new favorite.

When it comes to all things s’mores, I just can’t say no. I’m constantly asking my husband when he’s tending the grill if the coals are just right (because I have to have perfectly toasted marshmallows!) for making s’mores.

Fortunately for me, he likes them just about as much as I do, so I get to enjoy them quite a bit. I’m thinking it should become an “every time we grill” tradition.

It’d be great. Maybe not for our blood sugar levels, but definitely for our tastebuds!

These peanut butter s’mores bars are perfect for those days when it’s just too hot to stand around a fire or turn on an oven. Plus, they require just a handful of ingredients.

A simple peanut butter graham cracker crust makes up the base of these bars. Mini marshmallows are sprinkled over the top and covered with a thick layer of soft peanut butter chocolate.

Crushed graham crackers and marshmallow bits finish off these super easy no bake bars!

So if you’re looking for a new summer favorite, these bars are it!

Tips for Making No Bake Peanut Butter S’mores Bars

  • Don’t skip lining the pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. The bars are much easier to remove and slice when they are in an aluminum foil or parchment paper “sling.” Just remove the “sling” of bars from the pan, slice the bars, and replace the “sling” back into the pan.
  • Make sure to press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the baking dish. This will keep the crust from falling apart when it’s cut.
  • You can use an 8×8 inch or a 9×9 inch baking dish. The bars pictured were made in an 8×8 inch baking dish.

Oh, and where did you get that little ceramic milk jug from? Either way, I bet we don't get them here, so could I be super cheeky and ask if you'd be willing to pick one up for me and ship it over? I'll pay for the goodies, shipping and your time, of course. Let me know if that's OK Jessica, just email me at the email address provided with this comment. Thanks mi'lady.
