Peanut Butter Bars Recipe
Let’s be honest here. I’m going to admit something. All those recipes you see on my blog. I rarely make them repeatedly. Sure I have my go to recipes that never fail me like when I need a sweet treat for someplace I usually go to these super easy Monster Cookie Bars.
Or when I’m going to a summer time get together I’ll bring my Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad. Of course I have a few “go-to” family, friendly meals for company or to bring to families with newborns like this Spasagna!
Then every once in a while I fall in love with a recipe and I make it multiple times. Sometimes my family get scared because this is not typical behavior for a woman like me!
Peanut Butter Bars Recipe
That’s what happened with this yummy peanut butter bars recipe. I tried them at the beginning of the summer because I needed sometimes to bring to a friends house that had just had a baby. I was kind of sick of all my old recipes and they aren’t strangers at our house so I felt the need to try something new.
You know, mix it up so they didn’t get a “Julie Stand By Recipe”. They were a hit, so when my cousin had a baby I knew I had to bring these bars over there.
What Do I Need for Peanut Butter Bars Recipe
- Pretzel sticks
- Corn Chex
- Peanut Butter M&M’s
- Butter
- Creamy peanut butter
- Mini marshmallows
Then I just wanted some so I obviously had to make some to satisfy that craving. So in a couple short months I had made this recipe three times and I still hadn’t taken a picture of it!
Obviously the only way to remedy that was to make them again.
Trust me no one was complaining when I made these bars over, and over, and over again! Plus they are so easy I sure wasn’t complaining either.
It quickly became a go-to recipe in my book of tricks and I know of all the snack mix recipes out there… you’re going to love it too!

This is now my new “go to” snack recipe. So yummy and so easy to make. My kids loved them as well as the adults. I heard a few comments about them being perfect because they weren’t too sweet. This will be the perfect snack for softball tournaments this summer.
Thank you for the awesome recipes 🙂
