Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Granola Bars out of the tray with Justin's peanut butter jar on a white background side view

I love creating recipes that don’t require any heat because I can make my kids do it when I get lazy. This Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Granola was made with your kids in mind. I’ve included JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter and JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter for added sweetness. I’ve also added “easy” and “no bake” in the title so they don’t complain. You can even let them have a piece if you’re feeling extra generous.

Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Stuffed Grahams stacked on a white background with chocolate syrup drizzle and coconut shavings
Cookies are great, but cookie dough is better. This “cookie dough” takes an egg-less approach to cookie dough and stuffs it between two crunchy graham crackers and dunks it in melted chocolate. Chocolate-Dipped “Cookie Dough” Stuffed Grahams are made with JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter and are a great treat for the entire family.
