Words can’t even express how much my WHOLE family loved these! I tested this recipe a couple of months ago and my daughter has asked me to make them at least four times since. Perfectly sweet, satisfying, and 100% delicious. A great little treat to enjoy any time of the day! The only thing that would make these even more perfect is if I slathered a layer of toasted marshmallows on top of the peanut butter layer…. mmmmmm. I will definitely be doing that next batch! For now though, these hit the spot and were a big hit in my house!
Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Protein Bars
Print recipe| Serves | 12 |
| Prep time | 10 minutes |
| Meal type | Dessert |
Ingredients
- 3/4 cups Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
- 1/4 cup Powdered Peanut Butter
- 2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder (** I use Trutein **)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (** TOPPING **)
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil (** TOPPING **)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (** TOPPING **)
- 4 sheets graham crackers (** TOPPING **)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Combine peanut butter, powdered peanut butter, protein powder, almond milk, and vanilla in a stand mixer until smooth. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Grease a 8x8 pan with non stick spray and evenly spread the peanut butter mixture on the bottom of the pan. Set aside. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Place chocolate chip in a microwave bowl and begin melting in the microwave in 20 second intervals. After each interval, stir chips. I think my batch took 4-5 intervals. Once melted stir in coconut oil and vanilla extract. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture and smooth until evenly coated. | |
| Step 5 | |
| In a small food processor pulse the graham cracker sheets until you have a course meal (you can also place them in a zip lock bag and crush with a rolling pin). Sprinkle graham crackers on top of melted chocolate. | |
| Step 6 | |
| Let set in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours until chocolate is hard and peanut butter mixture is more firm. Cut into squares and serve. | |
