FAQs

Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

While creamy peanut butter works best for the smooth texture of these bars, you can certainly use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer the added texture and crunch.

How long do these bars last?

When stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator, these bars can last up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months – simply thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Can I make these bars nut-free?

Yes, you can substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter for a nut-free version. Ensure that the chocolate chips you use are also nut-free.

Do I need to bake these bars?

No, this is a no-bake recipe. The bars set in the refrigerator, making them perfect for warm weather when you do not want to turn on the oven.

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Rolled oats provide the best chewy texture for this recipe. Quick oats can be used, but they will result in a softer, less textured bar. If using quick oats, reduce the quantity slightly to avoid a dry mixture.
