Description
These Nutter Butter bars are a simple, no-bake dessert that features the classic peanut butter cookie in a new form.

Ingredients
- 32 Nutter Butter cookies (approximately 4 cups crumbs)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
- 12 Nutter Butter cookies (chopped)
- 3/4 cup Reeses Pieces candy
- flaky sea salt, optional
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper.
- Make the Nutter Butter crust. Crush 32 Nutter Butter cookies into 4 cups of fine crumbs using a food processor, blender, or ziptop bag and rolling pin. Stir the cookie crumbs, brown sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the melted butter and stir well. Use a glass or flat-bottomed measuring cup to press the crumbs into the prepared pan.
- Make the filling. Melt the peanut butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until combined.
- Assemble the Nutter Butter bars. Sprinkle the peanut butter chips and peanuts on top of the crust. Pour the peanut butter condensed milk mixture on top. Add the chopped Nutter Butters and Reese’s Pieces. Use a spatula or fork to gently press the toppings into the condensed milk mixture so everything adheres. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool. Chill in the refrigerator.
- To serve, melt 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in the microwave and drizzle on top of the bars. These homemade Nutter Butter squares are a fantastic dessert.
Notes
- Ensure Nutter Butter cookie crumbs are fine for a solid crust.
- Press the crust firmly into the pan to prevent crumbling.
- Chilling the Nutter Butter bars thoroughly makes them easier to slice.
- Flaky sea salt enhances the flavor of these peanut butter wafer bars.
- These Nutter Butter dessert bars are a great make-ahead option.
