Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 Oreos
  • 14 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 ½ cups peanut butter
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • Handful peanut butter cups, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 pan with aluminum foil and set aside.
  2. In a food processor, add the oreos and pulse until a fine crumble forms. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe dish, then add it to the oreo crumbles and pulse for several more seconds until combined. Press mixture into the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
  3. In a large, microwave-safe dish, add 5 tablespoons of butter and the peanut butter. Melt in 30-second increments until melted and smooth. Stir in the brown sugar and powdered sugar, then press into the pan on top of the oreo base.
  4. Wipe out the bowl, then add the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter and the chocolate chips and microwave for 1 minute, then stir carefully and continue microwaving in 30-second increments, if needed, until melted and smooth. Pour over the peanut butter mixture and smooth out to the edges. Sprinkle with the chopped peanut butter cups, then chill for at least 3 hours in the fridge. Let stand for 5-10 minutes at room temperature before serving.

    My Oreo’s are usually designated for dunking in milk, but I might have to make an exception and try these bars! They sound so good.

    These look fabulous! How long will these stay fresh? Do you store in refrigerator? Can you freeze them or will chocolate on top change color? Thanks. Cant wait to make them!

      Hi dee, you can store in the fridge, just use an airtight container. I left them at room temp (not a hot room) so they were ready to eat, if it’s colder they’re harder. You can freeze, we only had them in the freezer for a month, the chocolate color did not change but if it does they’re still good. I’ve been to a chocolate factory and they explained to me when chocolate gets that dusty look on top doesn’t mean it’s gone bad just fyi 😉

    NoBake Chocolate and Peanut Butter Bars. Ok so I have never been a fan of “no bake” desserts. Especially when they sound like they should be baked. But after reading this article and looking at the yummy picture I am drooling and require a bib. Maybe it’s because I am getting older and can appreciate the flavor w/o having to heat up the entire house to achieve it I don’t know but these look fantastic and the recipe sounds really easy.

    These look wonderful. I am not a fan of plain Oreos but paired with a dish like this and as a crust I’ve usually liked them. I am sure to try this one. Also because I really like the taste of peanut butter cups.
