Chef Mik's Tasty Peanut Butter Bar


These are the easiest desserts to prepare you can imagine, they taste great and take mere minutes to set up. While you can enjoy them anytime you like they are great for catered lunches or functions where in you can simply lay out a tray of them and you are done. I like to lay out a combination of several bars example being chocolate (brownies),fruit, nut, and cheese what have you in bite size portions however of all the bars we offer these are far and a way the easiest with next to no cooking whatsoever! The recipe is pretty standard and straight forward not unlike countless others out there, some melt the butter for the peanut butter bar portion while others such as myself don’t. I will say that it is easier to portion if not completely set. It will hold in the refrigerator for up to a week but if left out it will become soggy and less appealing

Shopping List
Smooth peanut butter
Butter or margarine, I like high fat European style,
Gram cracker crumbs, in lu of them puree digestive cakes
Confectioners or powdered sugar
Dark, semi sweet or milk chocolate


My Mad Method

Combine 225g (2.5dl) butter, 2.5dl peanut butter, 5dl gram cracker crumbs, and 5 dl confectioners sugar in a food processor








Puree until smooth










 

Spread evenly into a 23cm by 30cm sheet pan

Place 224g chocolate and 3 heaping TBSP peanut butter in a microwavable bowl covered with plastic and microwave for 30sec to 1 minute







  Stir until smooth and tempered










Spread the chocolate evenly over peanut butter base







Cool for 15 minutes to a half hour, then portion accordingly, chill thoroughly before serving 





Ready to eat!!
