Peanut butter and chocolate have to be one of the best food pairings! I have a ton of PB and chocolate recipe ideas, and these bars are one of the easiest and quickest to make. These bars taste like a thick cookie with a rich peanut butter taste, and you get a gooey chocolate flavor with every bite.
I suggest using ultra-creamy peanut butter. You can also use another nut butter if that's all you have. If you are using natural nut butter and the consistency is too thick and stiff, I advise you to scoop it int a microwave-safe dish, heat it for 20 seconds and stir. Repeat this process till you get the desired consistency. You can also achieve this using a high-speed blender: by blending the nut butter till getting that runny consistency.
To keep this recipe vegan, I used a flax eglar-sizeg made from ground flax meal to replace the traditional egg. The flax egg will help glue all the ingredients together. Mix 2.5 TBSP of water and 1 TBSP of ground flax meal in a small bowl or mug. Then keep it in the fridge for at least 15 mins to set.
I used mini chocolate chips instead of regu because I didn't want the chocolate to overpower the peanut butter. This keeps it balanced with peanut butter and chocolate, so you are experiencing both flavors simultaneously!
Chocolate chip cookie-like bars with a rich peanut butter taste. If you love peanut butter, you will love these bars!
