Oreo Peanut Butter Bars Ingredient List
These Oreo peanut butter bars have the most delicious ingredient list. Each one adds a little extra indulgence! You’re going to love the combination of Oreo, chocolate, and peanut butter. The exact measurements are in the recipe card below.
Oreo Crust
Oreos: These cookies get pulverized into a fine, dark crumb, forming the base of the bars. Salted Butter: Melted butter binds the Oreo crumbs together. The touch of salt brings out the flavors.
Peanut Butter Filling
Salted Butter: Melted butter again! It helps bind the filling ingredients and adds richness. Graham Cracker Crumbs: These light, airy crumbs add texture and also a subtle sweetness to the creamy peanut butter layer. Powdered Sugar: So the filling for the Oreo peanut butter bars is smooth and sweet. Peanut Butter: The star of the show! I used creamy peanut butter, but crunchy will also work if you want more texture.
Chocolate Topping
Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet or milk chocolate, the choice is yours! You can also use dark chocolate chips if you wish to offset the sweetness. Melted chocolate chips create a smooth, decadent layer that complements the peanut butter perfectly. Peanut Butter: A little extra peanut butter adds depth to the chocolate layer, making it extra special.
How to Make Oreo Peanut Butter Bars
Oreo peanut butter bars are so easy to make, no baking required! This makes them perfect for enjoying year-round, when you don’t want to turn on your oven in the summer!
Different Types of Chocolate: Milk chocolate can be very sweet, so you may switch it out for semi-sweet. For an even more fancy version, melt two different kinds of chocolate and marble them on top with a toothpick. You can even swirl in white chocolate or melted butterscotch chips. Make Your Crust More Dense: The Oreo crust is a bit crumbly, especially when it room temperature. If you want it to be denser, you may add 1-1 ½ tablespoons of additional butter to the crust, but it may make it feel more oily.
