It must be said, my kids would not eat these. I know, right? Chocolate and peanut butter. They wouldn’t eat them? Are they crazy? I’m blaming it on the post-holiday sweet overload. My husband and I greatly enjoyed this yummy little bars. (This is pre-detox, of course.) I cut them into bars and put them between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container in the fridge.
