These Crispy No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars take it a step further.

Some of you may remember the classic old commercials from the late 70s early 80s where the guy with the jar of peanut butter and the guy with the chocolate bar crash into each other and discover a new taste sensation.

Anyone? You young pups may not know what I am talking about. Just google it.

Notice the “No-Bake” in the name?

Actually you might not even need that. In my part of the country, in the summer you could turn this recipe into an outdoor solar energy science project discussing the state of matter at varying temperatures, and timing how quickly the ingredients liquefy.

I could go on and on…
