4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Deliciousness

Attempting to save for a house, I have been trying to make as much as I can at home (because of the obvious savings & healthier options!) While at Aldi this past week, my husband went to grab a box of peanut butter chocolate granola bars & then put it back on the shelf. Why?! He remembered that they didn't taste all that great. "No worries! I'll make you some!" I said...and that I did!!!

So, I did find a recipe (here) & I modified it a bit. After they were done, I managed to make 12 bars & individually wrapped them in aluminium! Best of all, husband said they tasted BETTER than the Aldi ones!!!! 


Ingredients:

1/2 c honey (or similar)
1 c peanut butter (or similar)
2 1/2 c rolled oats
1 c dark chocolate chips

Warm up honey & peanut butter over the stove until smooth, add the oats & mix until coated. Take an 8x8 pan (mine was a 7.5x7.5) dish & line with foil or wax paper. Push the mixture in the pan & spread evenly (I took an extra sheet of wax paper, put on top & pushed down) & refrigerate for a bit. 

Then, melt chocolate & spread evenly on top & put back in the fridge until cool. 

Enjoy!
