Those lunch ladies sure knew what they were doing with peanut butter! I can remember standing in the cafeteria line with my friends, hoping that I got one of the bigger slices of the peanut butter bars. That delicious peanut butter bar was always the highlight of the divided lunch tray.” – Clark, Georgia No Bake Peanut Butter Cafeteria Bars Print Recipe Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat Rating: 4.6/5 ( 5 voted ) Ingredients Peanut Butter Bars: 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (grind or crush about 8 or 9 graham crackers) 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 2 cups powdered sugar 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1 cup peanut butter, smooth or chunky, your choice Frosting: 1 cup dark chocolate chips 2 tbsp peanut butter, smooth or chunky, your choice 1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped sprinkles nonstick cooking spray Instructions 1.
