Here’s one for all the peanut butter lovers out there! Peanut butter and chocolate granola bars – a gourmet style snack bar packed with all the yummy, healthy things!
You won’t be tempted to nibble on the kids’ muesli bars when you whip up a batch of these spectacular morsels. Chewy and sweet they’re just the thing to tuck into your handbag when on the go.
I’ve used roasted almonds, but by all means, if you’re nuts about another nut – be a rebel and use them instead! Macadamias or pecans thrown in the mix would be super delicious additions.
