This easy no-bake dessert recipe is one of the easiest ways to get your peanut butter fix! BEST Peanut Butter Bars Recipe I have been craving White Chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter cups a ton lately. I didn’t think I’d like them because I don’t love white chocolate, but once I tried them I couldn’t stop eating them. And this recipe was born! I have several peanut butter bar recipes on this site, like peanut butter pretzel bars, made with pretzels, and Reese’s Bars made with Ritz crackers. I was out of both of those things so these double peanut butter bars are made with graham cracker crumbs – and topped with white chocolate just like my favorite candy. Peanut butter lovers are going to love this recipe! Ingredients Needed Peanut Butter – obviously!! I use a no-stir (not natural) peanut butter, like Skippy or Jif. Graham Cracker Crumbs – you can crush sheets of graham crackers yourself in a food processor or with a rolling pin in a ziploc bag, or buy a box of crumbs. You want fine crumbs so they mix in evenly. Powdered Sugar – We add this for sweetness and to help bind the mixture. White Chocolate Chips – These will be the topping with a little extra peanut butter so they slice nicely – it’s what makes them taste like Reese’s peanut butter cups! How to make Peanut Butter Bars Mix melted butter and peanut butter in a large bowl. I used a hand mixer, but you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add graham cracker crumbs and confectioners’ sugar and mix until combined. Press peanut butter mixture into a 9×9-inch pan lined with foil. Melt the white chocolate and remaining peanut butter in a medium bowl and spread over the top of the peanut butter layer. Chill to set the chocolate layer. Tip From Dorothy Expert Tips For thinner bars you can use a 9×13-inch pan, but I like them thick. Be sure to line your pan with foil or parchment paper for easy removal. It’s best to heat white chocolate chips at 50% power and stir after every 30 seconds so you don’t burn it. You can also use chunky peanut butter if you want. FAQs Can I make no bake chocolate peanut butter bars? Swap the white chocolate for milk chocolate chips and you have a more classic version of this recipe. Can you make these gluten free? Make gluten-free peanut butter bars by using gluten free graham crackers.

Launceston’s top TCE achievers have 99 reasons to smile
Launceston students have recorded some of the top TES results in the state. After a nervous wait for many, the state’s 11,000-plus cohort of year 11 and 12 students received their end-of-year results on Wednesday morning. Twenty Launceston-based students made the list of top 101 TES (Tertiary Entrance Score) results, which combine students’ best scores across year 11 and 12 courses. Three Northern students – Oscar Tiernan, Shannon Kelly and Samuel Rein – made the state’s top 12. Launceston College’s Oscar Tiernan was greeted with a TES score of 99.8 on Wednesday morning – but it came with a shock. “I’d been a bit worried last night so I stayed up a little bit,” he said. “I woke up and my parents had already seen my score. My Mum likes to tease me so she said ‘oh I’m so sorry, Oscar, you didn’t do as well as you thought’. “Turns out she was just playing a prank on me.” Oscar is planning to study medicine at Monash University in Melbourne, but is looking at other universities too. The 18-year-old said he had enjoyed all his subjects this year. “Consistent gradual improvement over time helped me to reach my goals,” he said. “It was that diligence and study consistently over time that helped me reach where I never thought I could get to.” Shannon Kelly’s TES score of 99.9 didn’t happen overnight. The St Patrick’s College graduate said her performance had been the result of consistent effort since grade 7. “I’ve always tried very hard at school, I really enjoy learning and finding solutions to things,” she said. “Maths seems to come quite easy for me because I’m looking for the solutions and how to get to them. “Because I’ve been putting the work in consistently for the past six years, I didn’t find my subjects this year too hard, I felt like a lot of it flowed on from my work from previous years.” Shannon will take a gap year to travel in 2024, after which she plans to get into engineering. The Pertrarch’s employee said she was glad her results had arrived before her shift started. “I’d been checking my phone every five minutes or so to see if the email had come in,” she said. “I wasn’t expecting it until lunch time so it was quite nice to see it there while I was still with my family at home so we could celebrate before I went to work. “It was a big relief, a big weight off my shoulders.” There was no drawn-out morning of waiting for Samuel Rein. The Scotch Oakburn year 12 awoke to an email advising him of a 99.95 TES score – one of the top results achieved across the state. “I was very surprised about the results I got – I was very happy about it,” he said. “I always like a good challenge.” Samuel, who plans to study electrical engineering at UTAS next year, thanked his parents for setting him on the path to success. “I used to hate maths and frankly was extremely bad at it, but my parents got me into tutoring,” he said. “Although I resented the day I had to go there … all of a sudden, I began to enjoy it more and over time I got better at it.” The following students received one of the top 101 TEC scores in the state.

Multiple Scouts Think Bears Starting Tyson Bagent Isn’t Crazy At All
Patience isn’t something the Chicago Bears have much of these days. One can understand why. They’ve endured some of the ugliest offensive football for the past few decades you’ll ever see. It was hoped quarterback Justin Fields might be the one to turn things around. His talent is immense, and he works harder than anybody. Yet, through the first two games of his third season, it’s more apparent than ever he suffers from key drawbacks that make it seem as if he’ll never become a high-end NFL passer. Already, the calls have grown from some fans to go with Tyson Bagent.
It sounds absurd. Bagent is an undrafted rookie from a Division II program. Replacing Fields with him at this juncture is irresponsible. Even so, people have eyes. They saw how Bagent performed in the preseason. He looked sharp, poised, calm under pressure, and threw with timing and accuracy. Even his footwork looked more polished than Fields. Brad Bigg of the Chicago Tribune reached out to a couple of scouting sources to see if fans were just smoking their usual hopeium.
The answer he got back wasn’t what you’d expect.
“He was really talented,” a national scout said. “My report reads better than the grade I gave him. He was accurate. He throws the ball downfield. They took a ton of deep shots at Shepherd. I thought in person he was a better athlete than he was on tape running away from some of those guys. I thought the guy had the ability to develop into an NFL quarterback. You can see him playing quarterback. Some guys who get all of this hype and have stats, you can’t see them doing it like they will have to do in the NFL. It was a matter of whether or not it was going to be too big for him and if he could develop in the manner he should against a new level of comp.”
“I went in there two years ago,” another national scout said, “And he definitely has enough talent. He showed enough ability to be intrigued about. I liked the player. I liked the person. Everything was really positive about him. He was different from the rest of his team in terms of his preparation habits and how badly he wanted to succeed and get to the NFL and get that chance. It was a good free-agent pickup. I am surprised he didn’t go in the seventh round. There was enough there to draft that guy.”
Tyson Bagent may get his shot at some point.
Head coach Matt Eberflus has maintained a steady assurance that Fields will figure it out. However, rumblings behind the scenes suggest he and the coaching staff are getting frustrated with his lack of progress as a passer. He missed several open receivers in Tampa Bay, including one that would’ve been a walk-in touchdown. The Bears have lost 12 games in a row. There is a legitimate avenue for them to go 0-6 in the blink of an eye. If that happens, there won’t be much left to lose by that point.
Starting Tyson Bagent at least gives the Bears a chance to evaluate the young quarterback. He probably won’t do much winning either, but it’ll be a great opportunity to see if he can execute at the NFL level. If he flounders, then they know the 2024 off-season will center around finding a quarterback. However, if Bagent shows promising signs, that may convince the team to give him a real shot next year with more resources poured into the surrounding roster.
