After dinner I love to have something a little bit sweet. I’ve also been on a bit of a peanut butter kick lately (Adam’s Natural Crunchy peanut butter (salted) is my favorite!). Hmmm….what do we have around the house that is sweet and has peanut butter but isn’t just peanut butter on a spoon? I know….let’s make bar cookies!
Off to the internet I went and I found this great recipe from Well Plated. Peanut butter? Check! Chocolate? Check! The facts that they were flour free and bar cookies were a plus. I whipped up a batch in no time flat and soon my house smelled like a peanut butter cup.
Each bar is a super rich peanut butter and chocolate decadence (even though they aren’t THAT decadent at all because they have no white flour and not that much sugar). Since they don’t have flour, they are a bit crumbly but I think they will be on our “make often” list.
YUM!
