Peanut butter is heavenly on its own, but these three recipes take the creamy stuff to the next level. Chocolate-topped, no-bake peanut butter bars will be your new make-ahead fallback. Another oven-free option, chocolate-peanut butter pretzel bites are equal parts cute and addictive. And for those who like it warm (with ice cream on top), there’s the irresistible peanut butter skillet cookie-cake.
