Stack of peanut butter protein barsAlmost exactly one year ago, my sister-in-law introduced me to these peanut butter protein bars.  I was immediately intrigued when she told me how fast they were to make and that they were a healthy snack option to keep you filled and energized in between meals.  They actually taste good and are not chalky!

You use only 4 ingredients and they come together within 5 minutes, although there is a 1 hour chilling time before you can actually eat them.  The chilling time is only to firm up the bars quickly.  Otherwise, they store on the counter at room temperature.  I just keep them in the pan, cut into bars, ready to uncover and grab a quick snack when the craving strikes.

The original recipe instructs to use a 9x9-inch square pan, however, I typically use my 7x11-inch as I do not own a 9x9-inch.  (I know, how do I not have one?!)  I've included both dimensions in my version below.  Either way, you cut into 12 bars for 12 servings.

A few items that might help you with this recipe:

Pyrex Baking Pan (I use the smaller 7x11 of this set, which comes with a very hand 9x13 that I use all the time for other recipes)
Parchment Paper (you can also find this at any grocery store, or use wax paper)
Microwave Safe Bowl (I love love love my Pampered Chef batter bowls)
