PB Chocolate Trail Mix Bars



Peanut butter.
Chocolate.
Need I say more?

I guess I should since you're here for the recipe ;) Let's get down to busiess!!!!

Ingredients:
~ 2/3 cup whole almonds
2/3 cup whole cashews
~ 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
~ 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
~ 1/3 cup dried cranberries
~ 1/3 cup raisins
~ 1/2 cup honey
~ 1 cup natural peanut butter, melted

Directions: 
(soooo easy!)
~ Put ALL ingredients into a blender/food processor.
~ Blend until mixed together


~ Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
Leave a little extra on the sides as "handles" for removing the bars when they are finished.
~ Scoop the mixture from the processor to the bowl.
~  Pack it down nice and tight. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

~ Cut into 16 squares. 
They may be stored at room temperature for up to 10 days, 
or in the fridge for 2 weeks (We prefer the fridge in our house!). 



So, if you are a Weight Watchers fan, I went ahead and calculated those points for you! :)
1 bar = 5pts


Let me know how they are when you try them! :)


P.S. - incase you're wondering why the first photo of the bars are thinner then the last photo, it's because I used the wrong size pan the first time I made them! Oops! They are still good either way, but the WW pts are based off of the bigger bars!
