When you don’t have an oven and long for some chocolate goodness, this recipe will work like a charm. What’s more, you get to combine peanut butter with chocolate. To be succinct, peanut butter + chocolate = heaven.
When we had guests over for the weekend, I searched the net for easy desserts that combined PB and Nutella, and found this and this. Its rare to come across desserts that are so easy to make, and believe me this one was a breeze.
Nutella-Peanut-Butter squares (makes around 20 1.5″x1.5″squares)
For the base:
200 gms Peanut butter
9-10 Graham Crackers (cab substitute with digestive biscuits)
1 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla essence
Frosting:
220 gms Nutella
Grind the graham crackers/digestive biscuits to a fine powder in a grinder. Add this to a mixing bowl. Nuke the butter (20 secs on low power) till melted. Add to the bowl. Add granulated sugar and vanilla essence. Combine all this and mix well to achieve a thick paste-like consistency. Turn out this mixture into a baking tray and shape to form a rectangular slab.
Refrigerate the slab for and hour till firm.
Nuke the Nutella for 30 seconds on low power till it achieves a spreadable consistency. Spread this on the peanut butter base and return to the fridge for around 1 hour, till it sets.
Cut into squares and plate up.
And that’s it! Cooking never got simpler.

@ Patricia … thanks, have been a huuuuge fan of your blog for a very long time, and finally decided to de-lurk 🙂
This looks nice and perfect for party too. I am wondering what can I use as a substitute for peanut butter 🙂 May be mine will have some dark chocolate !
Aaaah now dark chocolate would be so perfect! I was thinking that nutty peanut butter would be better for this recipe, and would give it some crunch as well.
I could stare at this forever! When I do get around to wearing that apron, I’m going to be looking up this page for recipes and lessons. 🙂
Thanks Merin, glad you liked this one !
