I’ve made these bars twice now – they’re really easy to make, and taste pretty good too. The first time I made them D liked them but did not seem to be too impressed – the second time around though, he thought they were amazing and couldn’t get enough. I made them the same way both times so have no idea as to why the change in attitude – but I’ll take it. These bars slightly resemble Reese’s peanut butter cups but they’re not as sweet and there isn’t as much chocolate. Without having to bake them these are the perfect summer treat.

Awesome! I love what you did with the recipe and the adjustment you made to make it nut and dairy free! Glad you enjoyed the finished product!
Thanks for sharing this! I made these this afternoon but I replaced the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 4 squares of white almond bark. I also chilled it in the freezer in about half the time. It was a really nice treat! Thanks again!!!
Ooo the white almond bark sounds like a great substitution! Thanks for commenting and letting me know you enjoyed the treats!
Forgot to mention the almond bark was almost too hard but it did taste good! It was just a good bit harder than the peanut butter mixture below it. Everyone in my family really likes them.
Too bad the almond bark was a little too hard – sometimes you just have to test out different things until you find the perfect balance of textures and flavors! Glad you enjoyed them anyway.
