8. Buckeyes: Peanut Butter Fudge Dipped In Chocolate 

Buckeyes are a classic Ohioan dessert named for its resemblance to the nut of the state tree: the Ohio buckeye.

9. Giant Fluffernutter Skillet Cookie 

Cast iron skillets are great to use for a variety of dishes, but not all of them are savory. A skillet is more than ideal for a cookie as it cooks faster, softer, and is less mess altogether! If you love cookies, marshmallows, or simply the fluffernutter concept all around, then you need to make this Giant Fluffernutter Skillet Cookie. In this recipe, vegan marshmallows are baked into a big, soft peanut butter cookie, which is topped with vegan ice cream and even more peanut butter.

What better way to end your day than with some delicious Mini Raw Peanut Butter Cup Tarts? These scrumptious tarts start with a peanut butter base, followed by a nut butter filling topped off with a homemade raw chocolate, crushed peanuts, cacao nibs, and oats! Peanut butter and chocolate on their own is a yummy pairing, but with oats and nuts for texture and added protein, it makes an easy, delicious dessert.

13. Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats

What’s the one thing in this world that’s better than rice crispy treats? Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats, of course. The award-winning combination of chocolate and peanut butter puts these little bites of heaven over the top. Plus, with only six ingredients required, they are super easy to make.

14. 5-Ingredient Butterfingers 

These Five-Ingredient Butterfingers are sweet, salty, and just a little bit crunchy. Slightly less crunchy than the original, but definitely crunchier than just chocolate and peanut butter. All you need is peanut butter, dates, chocolate, corn flakes, and coconut oil. With only five ingredients and one kitchen appliance needed, these candy bars are a snap to make (and even easier to eat!).

15. Peanut Butter Caramel Chocolate Candy Bars

All you do is stir up the chocolate, spread it on a pan, layer the peanut butter caramel on top, then cover with chocolate and peanuts. You can pop it in the freezer for an hour until it’s set, or 15 minutes if you want gooey, sticky, melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
