Serves: 12 bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cocoa Pebbles
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of Cocoa Pebbles, 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of honey, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Make sure you have a mixing bowl, a spatula, and an 8x8-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper for easy removal of the fudge bars.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Use the spatula to mix these ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth. This mixture will serve as the base for your fudge bars.
- Once the peanut butter mixture is smooth, gradually add in the 2 cups of Cocoa Pebbles. Gently fold the cereal into the mixture using the spatula, ensuring that all the Cocoa Pebbles are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture. Be careful not to crush the cereal too much; you want to maintain some texture.
- After the Cocoa Pebbles are fully incorporated, fold in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. This will add an extra layer of chocolatey goodness to your fudge bars.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the spatula to spread it out evenly, pressing down firmly to create a compact layer. This will help the bars hold together once set.
- Once the mixture is evenly spread, place the baking dish in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the fudge bars are firm and set. This will help them hold their shape when cut.
- After the fudge bars have set, remove them from the refrigerator. Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the baking dish. Place them on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the bars into 12 equal pieces. You can adjust the size based on your preference, but 12 bars is a good serving size.
- Enjoy your Peanut Butter Cocoa Pebbles No Bake Fudge Bars as a delicious snack or dessert! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and smoother consistency.
- For a cleaner cut, run your knife under hot water before slicing the bars.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, opt for natural peanut butter and reduce the honey slightly.
- Ensure your chocolate chips are evenly distributed by folding them gently into the mixture.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate on top of the bars before refrigerating.
- Keep the bars refrigerated to maintain their firm texture and prevent melting.
- Feel free to experiment with different cereals or add chopped nuts for additional crunch.
- Use a high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor profile.
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting.
