Peanut Butter Snack Bars

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. Mix all of the ‘bars’ ingredients together and press into a loaf pan. Dampen fingers with water to move and even out the dough.

3. Bake for 15 minutes, or until slightly browned around the edges.

4. Let cool, then cut into 6 bars.

5. Melt butter in the microwave for 30 seconds (heating for additional 30 second increments if needed) and then mix in the cocoa until smooth. Stir in liquid sweetener. Taste and add more sweetener if needed. Spread on top of the peanut butter bars.

6. Top bars with chopped peanuts and press to adhere.

7. Freeze bars until firm and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
