No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

 These remind me of a Butterfinger bar. I found a recipe online and ditched the oil and used whole wheat bran flakes to make them a little more healthy and WFPBNO. No cooking is required, but you do need to keep them in the freezer. They are so good I've made them three times.

  • 2 cups vegan wheat bran flakes
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (get peanut butter that only has one ingredient - peanuts)
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy, dark, chocolate chips

Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly crush the flakes. I used my hands. But into a heat safe mixing bowl.

Add maple syrup and peanut butter to a small saucepan and heat until the peanut butter is melty. Whisk often to blend the two. Pour this into the flakes. Mix well.

Pour this into the lined loaf pan and press firmly down.

In a small heat proof bowl add the chocolate chips. Microwave the chips in 30 second increments. Stir after every 30 minutes. They don't have to be totally melted. Stirring them will help them melt.

Pour over the peanut butter mixture and spread to cover. Place in freezer until chocolate is set.

Remove from pan using the edges of the parchment paper.

Slice into 10 or 12 squares. I cut the loaf down the middle length wise and then sliced each of those in half. 
Enjoy!!!!
