  1. I absolutely LOVE these bars! I keep them in stock in the fridge all the time! Thank you so much! Do you have a new Freestyle points number for these? And if I used sunbutter in place of pb, would the freestyle points be less? Thank you so very much for your time and sharing of this recipe!

    1. Angela, We don’t have the Freestle points yet but hope to soon. Glad you lover the bars. 🙂

  2. I had the idea to just form these into balls. They’re great! I also added pumpkin seeds and cashews. Love it!5 stars

  3. made these into small bite sizes with dark salted chocolate drizzled over top and froze. Makes a better option for my husbands sweet tooth. So delicious and just as delicious as a peanut butter cup. Sometimes taking a craving and finding a way to make it more approachable is everything. Thank you for filling a constant desire with a much healthier alternative! Quality of ingredients is everything!5 stars
