If you’re a fan of the irresistible duo that is peanut butter and chocolate, you’ve come to the right place! From rich, fudgy brownies to no-bake bites and creamy frozen desserts, you’re about to meet 25+ of the best chocolate peanut butter dessert recipes out there. Woohoo!
Peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in heaven (kinda like mint and chocolate, but that’s a whole other story). Between the salty, nutty richness of peanut butter and the sweet, slightly bitter taste of chocolate, they balance each other beautifully. The salt in the peanut butter enhances the chocolate’s sweetness, while its earthy, nutty undertones mellow the bitterness of the cocoa. It’s a universally loved combination that opens the door to endless possibilities. In this post, I’m sharing my all-time favorites. I stopped at a little over 25, but, honestly, I could have gone on to hundreds more. Get ready to dive headfirst into dessert bliss!
