Buckeye Peanut Butter Candy Fans

I don't know about you, but rolling dough, dipping in chocolate and all the time that takes, is way to long for my patience with wanting a special treat.


These buckeye bars are simple, crust, filling, topping, cut, and voila you're done after they refrigerate for only 45 minutes or less.


Parties, holidays, events, and just something to bring to your next outing for even picnics, these are always a huge hit!


Peanut butter can be an issue for some folks, so substitute almond butter or cookie butter.


Not a problem, still a delicious no-bake treat that everyone will love.

Making the Crust

The easiest way to get a perfect crust is to put it in the food processor and pulse the cookies until fine crumbs appear.


Add the melted butter and that's it, what could be easier?


Just pat down the crumbs into a lined oil-sprayed pan.


The best part is, you really can use any cookies at all, my son loves this recipe with nutter butter!

Melting the Chocolate

I put everything into a glass bowl, then place the chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute at a time.


Check it and stir, once it's melted enough, just fold in the peanut butter.
