Healthy No-Bake Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bars
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Yields: 12 bars
Ingredients:
For Crust:
Cooking spray
24 chocolate wafer cookies
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels, melted
For Filling:
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup creamy all-natural peanut butter
1/2 cup 2-percent Greek yogurt
2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
For Topping:
1/4 cup chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
Kosher salt
Directions:
- For making the crust, line an 8-inch square pan with foil so it overhangs on two sides and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Process the cookies in a food processor until finely ground.
- Add the melted butter and process again until the crumbs are coated with the butter; add the melted chocolate and process until the mixture is the texture of very wet sand.
- Using an offset spatula, press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, cover and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Clean out the food processor bowl.
- To make the filling, add the cream cheese, peanut butter, yogurt and sugar to the bowl of the food processor and process until smooth and combined.
- Pour the mixture over the crust and smooth with a spatula.
- Top with the peanuts and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cover and refrigerate until set slightly looser than cream cheese, about 4 hours up to overnight.
- Run a knife around the edges of the mixture to loosen, use the foil handles to lift it out.
- Cut into 12 bars and serve chilled.
