Awhile ago I made peanut butter protein bars and they were a hit. Well we were traveling a few weeks ago and I always pack snacks. So hubs wanted something peanut butter, so I decided to make these peanut butter protein bars. And honestly we just love them. They were a perfect snack for us before we went on a long walk. They also made a great snack to eat on the airplane.

These bars are so easy to make and don’t require baking. You just need a pot to melt the honey, peanut butter and butter. A bowl to mix everything together. I washed the pot and used it again to melt the chocolate and peanut butter. These bars don’t even take 15 minutes to bake. You can either stick them in the fridge or freezer.

Happy Baking ????
