Table of Contents

Ingredients

3 cups roasted peanuts (unsalted or lightly salted)
2 cans (14 oz / 397 g each) sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons butter (optional, for extra richness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Optional Additions

½ cup shredded coconut
½ cup crushed biscuits or graham crackers
¼ teaspoon salt (if using unsalted peanuts)

Instructions

Prepare the Pan

Line a square or rectangular baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make lifting the bars out easier later.

Create the Peanut Base

Spread the roasted peanuts evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish. If using coconut or crushed biscuits, mix them with the peanuts before adding to the pan.

Warm the Condensed Milk

In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly. Add the butter (if using) and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract.

Assemble the Bars

Slowly pour the warm condensed milk evenly over the peanut layer, making sure everything is well coated. Use a spatula to gently press the mixture down and smooth the top.

Chill Until Set

Let the dish cool slightly at room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 3–4 hours, or until fully set and firm.

Slice and Serve

Once firm, lift the slab out using the parchment paper. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into squares or bars with a sharp knife.

Serving Suggestions

These bars taste amazing served chilled or at room temperature. Pair them with coffee or tea, drizzle with melted chocolate, or sprinkle a little sea salt on top for a sweet-and-salty twist.

Conclusion

These no-bake peanut condensed milk bars prove that simple ingredients can make an unforgettable dessert. They’re sweet, nutty, chewy, and incredibly easy to prepare — no oven, no fuss. Perfect for sharing, gifting, or sneaking a piece straight from the fridge.
