My friend, who needs to start her own food blog or baking business (hi JG!) shared some yummy peanut butter bars that she had made. She loves to cook and bake and fatten the rest of us up with her delicious treats. I decided to try my hand at converting the recipe she used to make it low carb and gluten free. I love that I already had everything I needed on hand for this and it was quick to make. I didn’t even have to turn on my oven.
These need to stay refrigerated and eaten cold.
A note about the sweetener: I used Pyure Organic All-Purpose Blend Stevia Sweetener
