How to Make the Best Chocolate Peanut Butter Toffee Crunch Bars Recipe
- Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bars: Semi sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter baking chips, creamy peanut butter, Rice Krispies cereal and bits-o-brickle (english toffee bits and peanuts.
- Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: One 8×8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper, measuring cups and spoons, a microwave safe mixing bowl plus a large silicone spatula for stirring. You may also find it handy to have an offset spatula for spreading the mixture evenly into the parchment lined pan.
- When melting the baking chips and peanut butter together it’s perfectly fine to use the melt function on your microwave or in a double boiler over simmering water, if you prefer.
- When melting the chips together in the microwave, be patient. Don’t be tempted to increase the cooking temperature or the melted chocolate and peanut butter chips may scorch.
- Once the chocolate and peanut butter chips have melted it’s important to work quickly when mixing the warm chocolate with the cereal, toffee bits and peanuts. You want every ingredient to be fully coated before pressing into the pan.
- Lift cooled bars from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper then cut into desired size pieces using a sharp knife.
- Store these crunch bars in an airtight container chilled in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature for serving.

Made these for our daughter’s wedding as a add in for the dessert table. They were a huge hit. People asked about these & wanted to know “what kind of rice krispy treats” they were. They were described as deadly! We all thought they were so good.
(I made my own toffee bits because I just couldn’t do one more grocery run! )
I also made them ahead and froze them.
I’m delighted that you chose these for such a special occasion, thank you! Send my very best to the Bride and Groom!
This sounds awesome!! Was wondering can you substitute the semi sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips??
You could, if you prefer them sure.
Just made these and turned out great-very easy. Just one question can you freeze them, to much for my husband and me to eat would like to save some for another time.
Thanks
Bonnie
HI Bonnie, I’m glad you liked these. While I haven’t frozen them, most candies do freeze well, and these likely would, too.
Could you use regular PB in place of peanut chips?
Not in this instance.
My family and I enjoyed these simple, no-bake bars. I love finding new recipes for summer that don’t require the oven. I love the texture of these! The first night, they seemed difficult to cut and eat straight from the fridge. They’re much easier to slice and eat when they’ve sat at room temp for a little bit. Thanks for a great recipe!
Thanks so much and yes, when chilled, let them sit a bit before cutting.
So wanted to try this amazing recipie but unfortunately in Australia we don’t have some of these ingredients
Awww, so sorry! Maybe you could adapt using what you have in your local market.
What kind of peanuts do you use? Salted? Unsalted? Dry roasted?
You could use any of those. Typically, salted.
would like to try these but don’t know what bits 0 brikle is
English toffee bits, also called bits-o-brickle can be found on the baking aisle of most grocery stores.
I’m dying to try this. I bet it will cure CoVid! I had no idea what bits o brittle was either. I will look.
Hi Cathy, I hope you can find them!
Good to know. I wondered the same thing. Sounds great. I will make.
Would Skor bar pieces work? I’ve seen packages of those in the baking aisle here in Canada. Never seen Bits O Brickle here.
Skor pieces will work, yes.
