  • Line a 9x13 or 8x8 pan with parchment paper and spread bar mixture evenly over the pan with the back of a spatula (or your hands!)

  • Place pan into the freezer for an hour.
  • Remove parchment paper from pan and cut mixture into bars.

Notes

You can use smooth peanut butter or almond butter if you’d prefer. We like the extra crunch from the peanuts.
Store in the fridge or freezer.
