Peanut Butter Bars

Woah, let me tell you, sometimes I simply don’t think very much or I am completely in my own world or tired that things don’t flow properly. I love starting Monday’s with a baking/cooking spree and get stuff prepared for the week (Mantra Mondays). Although, this morning for some reason happened to not flow quite right. My husband wanted peanut butter bars so I started making this SIMPLE recipe only to screw it up; honestly it was very annoying. For some reason I couldn’t compute the disaster while it was happening, I kept thinking something was off, but I didn’t stop to grab the recipe and actually fix it. LAME! I totally messed up my peanut butter bars by not mixing the graham crackers with the peanut butter. I made it have a crust without realizing I needed to mix it with the peanut butter mixture. Of course I realized it once the chocolate was not only melted, but spread across the top and chilling in the fridge.

I am too cheap to throw it out and wanted to see if my husband would even notice what’ up; although I have a strong feeling the graham crackers will be extremely crumbly and not stick to the peanut butter. Half tempted to mix everything together including the chocolate and making a new version of peanut butter bars……

Stupid things like this make me laugh yet make me so frustrated because it’s almost too simple of a recipe to mess up. :)

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups graham crackers
  • 1 cup butter (coconut oil)
  • 1 cup peanut butter (almond butter)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips

Mix first FOUR ingredients TOGETHER and spread throughout a 9×13 ungreased pan. Melt chocolate with a little butter and spread a top the almond butter mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Without fail, you will make some yummy treats if you follow my instructions and read the one and only way to make them flop. :)

 

*Note: so I was right, you couldn’t even cut them without it being a disaster. I ended up melting the chocolate again and remixing everything together. They weren’t bad, but definitely was not the taste of peanut butter bars. My husband claimed they were rice crispy treats with chocolate. HAHA not sure where the “crispy” part came in, but it definitely gave us a good laugh.
