Chocolate Peanut Butter Goodness that's actually healthy!

Easy and Delish: No Bake Chocolate Bars

From: ihearexercisewillkillyou.blogspot.com - To keep these on the low-sugar side of things, use natural sugar-free peanut butter and dark chocolate. The two best sugar-free peanut butters I've found are Krema brand (we get it at Smith's in Utah), or the Organics brand peanut butter from Safeway. Both brands feature nothing but peanuts, and both taste great. 

The Best No-Bake Bars You'll Ever Eat
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil (be sure to use unrefined for the coconut flavor, or refined if you don't like a strong taste of coconut- You can get this at any Vitamin or Health food store.  We get ours from Swanson Vitamins online.)
2 cups dry oats (not instant)
1 C shredded coconut
1/2 C chopped walnuts (optional)
1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips
1 t vanilla extract

Melt peanut butter, honey and coconut oil over medium-low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add oats, shredded coconut, chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir until chocolate is entirely melted. Pour into a 9x13 pan and cool in the fridge. When it's set, cut into bars and enjoy. Store in the fridge. If they last that long!
