Best Ever No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Ingredients:
•2-1/2 cups Splenda (adjust for other sweeteners)
1/4 cups butter
•3/4 cups 2% milk
•1-1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
•1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
•4-1/2 cups sesame seeds or other nuts or seeds
•12 ounces unsweetened chocolate
additional sweetener to taste for chocolate
Method:
Combine sugar, butter and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a full boil and boil for a full minute, stirring often.
Remove from heat. Add peanut butter and vanilla and stir until fully incorporated. Add seeds or nuts and stir until mix begins to cool. Spread mixture evenly into a parchment or wax-paper lined sheet pan and set aside until firm (about 1 hour).
Melt chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water or in the microwave. Add sweetener if desired to taste. Pour chocolate over the peanut butter cookies and spread smooth. Refrigerate until set. (about 1/2 hour, but overnight works well.) Cut into 2-inch squares. Store in layers separated with parchment paper in air tight containers for up to 1 week.
