The other day an image flashed across my Facebook news feed. It was a photo and link to a chocolate peanut butter bar recipe. The bars looked great, but as I browsed through the ingredients for the recipe, I saw the words “butter” and “heavy cream” among the list. Definitely not. So, I decided to try and make these no bake bars myself, veganized. The first attempt was a fail, but this time I definitely got it right. My husband and daughter approved! This is a simple vegan peanut butter bar recipe that everyone will love.

Only five ingredients are needed to make this decadent no bake vegan dessert. One bite and you will wonder why anyone even needed to add heavy cream or butter to the mix. It’s not necessary. There is always a vegan substitute.
