Tips & Tricks for Making Peanut Butter Desserts:
- Use creamy peanut butter for smoother results – It blends faster and holds no-bake treats together more easily than chunky.
- Microwave to speed things up – Soften peanut butter or chocolate chips in 10–15 second intervals to melt quickly for mixing or drizzling.
- Chill to set faster – Pop your treats in the freezer for 10–15 minutes instead of the fridge if you’re in a rush.
- Add texture fast – Stir in quick oats, crushed graham crackers, or pretzels for added crunch without extra prep.
- Mini muffin tins = instant portion control – Great for bite-sized peanut butter cups or freezer treats.
- Line your pans – Use parchment paper or silicone molds for mess-free removal and less cleanup.
How long do no-bake peanut butter treats last?
Most last 5–7 days in the fridge in an airtight container, or up to 2 months in the freezer.
Can I substitute other nut butters?
Absolutely! Almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter work well, though flavor and texture may vary slightly.
