Snack time is the most important time of the day for me. I tend to crave something peanut butter based during this time which is why I love these Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Bars. I also love anything that has minimal and wholesome ingredients.
Another great thing about these Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars is that you can exchange the ingredients to customize it for you. For example, if you are vegan, you can use maple syrup instead of honey. Another example would be swapping out the peanut butter for almond butter and peanuts for chopped almonds. The options are endless really!
This recipe has everything! It is quick, easy, no-bake, healthy and vegan. Simply mix the ingredients and pop it in the freezer until you are ready to eat. The ooey gooey deliciousness is irresistible and is guaranteed to satisfy all cravings in one bite.
