Baking Instructions For Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
For Classic Easy-Bake Oven (Light Bulb Model)
- Preheat the Easy-Bake Oven by allowing it to warm up for 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully slide the pan with your prepared graham cracker into the oven.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes until the chocolate chips are soft and slightly melted.
- Carefully remove the pan from the oven using the oven tool. Let the chocolate sit for a few seconds to soften further, then spread the melted chocolate over the top with a small spoon or spatula.
For Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven (Electric Model)
- Preheat the Ultimate Oven for about 20 minutes.
- Slide the pan with the graham cracker into the oven.
- Bake for 4-5 minutes until the chocolate chips are soft.
- Remove the pan carefully. After a few seconds, spread the softened chocolate with a spoon to create a smooth, even layer.
Step 4: Cool and Enjoy!
- Let the peanut butter chocolate bar cool slightly in the pan so it can set.
- Carefully lift the bar from the pan, and cut into smaller pieces if you’d like bite-sized treats. Enjoy your gooey, chocolatey peanut butter bars!
Tips for the Best Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars
- Use Creamy Peanut Butter: Smooth peanut butter spreads easily and pairs well with the mini chocolate chips for a balanced texture.
- Add a Topping: Sprinkle a few pieces of chopped nuts or mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate layer for added texture and flavor.
- Try Different Chocolate: Experiment with white chocolate or peanut butter chips for a fun twist on the classic flavor.
