Pretty please? Teehee. :-) Can I get bonus points for making these today and not even taking the graham crackers out of their little sleeve to crush them? Pretty please? Teehee. :-)

My daughter (who HATES peanut butter) is out of town, so I've been going crazy making peanut-butter-this and peanut-butter-that. :-D I'm having a grand time (and trying not to miss her too much). Anyway, these came out delicious, and were promptly eaten by last night's dinner guests for dessert. Thanks for a wonderful no-bake summer dessert. Yum!

I think for whatever reason our batch needed a lot less powdered sugar. The peanut butter, graham cracker mixture just did not hold together very well and they seemed too sweet from the powdered sugar as well. I think I would have preferred a little bit more texture from the graham cracker mix as well. Better luck next time.

Tasted great! Thanks for the yummy, easy recipes! Keep them coming.

The original Taste of Home link in this post takes you to the TOH recipe for these, and you can print it in a recipe card size there. I've also added another link right above the title of the recipe, so you should be all set now. :) Melissa, I’m so glad my blog has been helpful to you.

It has singlehandedly done more to increase my awareness about food waste--and what I can do to limit it--than anything else in my life. As for this recipe, all I can say is delish! Just made it for the first time and was pleasantly surprised to see that it truly was just as simple to make as you described. I have just one request. Could you provide a link to a print-friendly version so I can pop it into my recipe card holder? Thanks and keep up the great blogging!

I added a squirt of corn syrup in the frosting to keep it nice and shiny. I made these this morning for a party we have to go to tonight( ironically a ” I had gastric bypass and lost 225 lbs” party).

It was a wonderful excuse to use up some graham crackers that were lurking and the chocolate peanut squares were delicious. My 5 year old even attempted to skip dinner to have more, but sad for him, he still had to eat his dinner. Thanks for a terrific recipe!

I had one suggestion for a substitution, if you don't have graham crackers. My husband makes peanut butter balls for Christmas that have Rice Krispies in them - which I think would make a good substitution for graham crackers. The cereal gives a nice crunch to the peanut butter filling :) These are really tasty, made them yesterday. I had one suggestion for a substitution, if you don’t have graham crackers.
