Description

These high-protein, sugar-free peanut butter bars blend creamy and chunky nut butter with a crunchy vanilla wafer base and a soft chocolate topping. Perfect for post-workout fuel or guilt-free snacking without insulin spikes.


Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups sugar-free powdered sugar
1 (12-oz.) box vanilla wafers
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

Crush vanilla wafers into fine crumbs using a food processor or pulse in a sealed bag with a rolling pin
Combine crushed wafers with softened butter, chunky peanut butter, and sugar-free powdered sugar
Press the mixture into an 8×8-inch greased baking pan
Microwave the reserved creamy peanut butter and chocolate chips (in 30-second intervals) until smooth
Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the base
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm
Cut into 16 bars

Notes

Use grass-fed butter for enhanced flavor; substitute coconut oil for dairy-free
Chunky vs. creamy peanut butter combination is essential for texture
For grain-free: use almond flour-based vanilla cookies
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
