How this recipe comes together
Making Nutty Buddy Bars is not only satisfying but also fun! You’ll start by mixing the peanut butter and powdered sugar, which gives a rich, sweet base. Next, you’ll incorporate crispy wafers for that fantastic crunch. Once the base is pressed into your baking dish, it’s time to melt the chocolate and butter together. After pouring the smooth chocolate layer on top, the hardest part is waiting for them to set in the fridge. The entire process is straightforward, taking about 30 minutes of active prep time, followed by chill time.
What you’ll need
To create these mouth-watering Nutty Buddy Bars, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup crispy wafers, crushed (think of those delicious wafer cookies!)
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
Feel free to swap out the crunchy wafers for graham crackers or even a gluten-free version if needed. Adaptation is the spice of life!
