Gluten Free No Bake Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bars


It’s that time of year; sweet treats take center stage at parties and family gatherings.  Gluten free doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the fun or deny yourself a few sweets. Here’s an excellent treat I put together to take to a cookie exchange.

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups gluten free creamy peanut butter
2 cups gluten free semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Over low heat, melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan. Add sugars, peanut butter, and almond extract, mix well. Spoon mixture into a 9X13 inch baking dish and spread evenly.

Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave and spread evenly over the top of the peanut butter mixture. Let cool on the counter top before cutting into bars.



Enjoy!

Unfortunately, for health and ingredient conscious individuals, replacements often lack the flavor we crave. So, when we say, only two ingredients without the usual allergens, the first concern is taste. Fear not as this gooey chocolaty treat is not lacking any taste; in fact, it tastes better than most.

Cost: Less than $4.00 per batch
