This recipe comes from Nina Jones, a reader of this blog, who said after reading my blog she immediately thought of this recipe to send me. Thank you!

These are definitely for peanut butter lovers or those trying to conceive (ha-ha). It’s surprisingly lighter than I thought (I was expecting a heavy bar for some reason) and not too sweet. Don’t laugh…I know my sweet scale is a little higher notched than most but I really enjoyed it.
