NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BARS





NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BARS

These are plain addictive.  You could use almond butter instead of peanut butter if you prefer.  This honestly did not last a day in our household.  Check out the New Choczero chocolate chips - even available in white chocolate!  Best news is they do not use sugar alcohols!
