Oh, peanut butter, how you tease us. Its rich and buttery flavor goes so well with its tempting friend chocolate that when the two get together, it is absolutely divine. And even though we know peanut butter tastes great on sandwiches and on fresh apples, heck even fresh out of the jar, when it comes to desserts, recipes with peanut butter are our guilty pleasure. We can’t quit you, peanut butter, and with this new heavenly no bake dessert from our friend Amanda Formaro, we don’t think we’ll be able to any time soon.
We all know how chocolate and peanut butter go together like chips and salsa, or like ham and cheese, or even Laverne and Shirley, but what makes this recipe so delicious is that there is one more ingredient that makes it extra special, vanilla pudding. It may sound a little strange at first, but it’s this ingredient that makes the bars extra creamy. Plus, the vanilla flavor makes the melted chocolate chips a little less bitter and more like milk chocolate. With just the right amount of sweet you have to try it.
No Bake Pudding Bars have three different layers that each come together to make every bite sensational. The bottom layer is a buttery, crunchy layer made from rice krispies, cornflakes, and, of course, peanut butter. The middle layer is made from instant vanilla pudding to give it that rich and creamy flavor that we love. Lastly, the bar is topped with melted chocolate and cooled so everything sets into one decadent dessert that is just in time for spring and summer. A great no bake recipe for the family, make sure to bring these to your next family party or get-together and show everyone how peanut butter can make a dessert that much better. If you’re going to be feeding a crowd Recipe Chatter has tons of great dessert recipes, including more amazing no-bake dessert recipes.

Yum! This is one of our favorite peanut butter recipes, http://www.jaseyscrazydaisy.com/2013/03/tagalong-brownie-cookie-bars-tagalong.html?m=1.
It would be nice if you would make the recipe so they could be printed with out the rest of the page.And the type a little bigger.That lot’s of paper and ink .
I high lite the recipe and than I copy it. Then I go to Word and past it. If you get more than you want you can delete what you don’t want. Save or print. just the recipe
Can even reduce the size of the photo. right click photo on your word document and click on size and decrease or increase.
You can also hightlight the recipe to copy it, and then “paste” it on a blank Microsoft word page (or freeware Open Office.) If the picture shows up you can easily delete by clicking on it and then hitting delete. You can changer your font size, also.
UNHAPPY I CAN NOT PRINT JUST THE RECIPE, WITHOUT ALL THAT INK AND PAPER USE.
YOU CAN PRINT HOLDING DOWN THE RIGHT CLICK TO COVER THE INGREDIENTS AND
PROCEDURES WHEN IT’S MARK IN BLUE WITH THE LEFT CLICK SELECT PRINT AND IN
THE PAGE RANGE CLICK SELECTION. YOU ALSO CAN CHANGE BIGGER SIZE IN THE
PRINTER PROPERTIES, BEFORE PRINT. i just did it!!!!!
do you crush the cornflakes or leave them whole?
Can you leave out the peanut butter? We have allergies to it. I’ll bet you can.
I would like to try it without.
So I love this recipe however I would love the middle layer to be more prominent and also I would really love this middle layer to be more creamy once chilled any ideas on how to make that happen I am open to trying to figure it out Suggestions please!
