I think it is fitting that I tend to pick baked goods for Secret Recipe Club, not something I make all that often but so good when I do. These no bake bars were perfect for the our 100+ degree 4th of July celebration. I did leave them in the fridge a bit longer and put them back in mid-afternoon.
Rich, chocolaty, peanut butter goodness that really does remind me of a peanut butter cup. One was good and half the pan went pretty quickly! This months delicious treat was brought to you by Lisa of Sweet as Sugar Cookies. All about baked goods. I had a hard time picking what to make! But with 100 degree temps I didn’t really want the oven going. Love the no bake desserts.

Mmm peanut butter. And no bake is great for summer!
What a great summertime choice!
Fantastic choice for SRC! No heating up the kitchen and still a wonderful treat for the family.
Hmmm I don’t think I’ve seen a recipe like this with cracker crumbs – sounds yummy!
I’m there with you, with these summer temps no-bake is the way to go and your bars sound wonderful.
If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my SRC entry Double Chocolate Mousse Cake

Ritz crackers? Intriguing! I’m sure it tasted yummy, I may have to give this one a try myself because of the crackers!
Mmmmmm. I love the combo of peanut butter and chocolate.
So glad you tried this recipe out. It’s one of my faves.
No bake treats are definitely the way to go…if you’re not crazy like me and cranking your oven every other day-lol! These sound fabulous!
wowza…that looks yummy!!!!
That sounds delightful! My standard homemade dessert in hot weather is a variation on mark bittman’s chocolate-tofu pudding (sounds awful but actually delicious– just don’t tell anyone what it is), but I’ll have to come up with some good crackers crumbs and make this for the next surprise dinner party!
Wow, I’m intrigued. I’ve never seen a sweet treat that used wheat crackers before. But now that I think about it, it sounds pretty good!
These look incredibly good and delicious!! Have to try them NOW!!
