These Grain Free Peanut Butter Crack Bars are such a quick and easy no bake dessert that is SO DAMN SATISFYING. It’s basically peanut butter fudge meets a Reese’s bar. And unlike most fudge, it’s totally dairy free, much lower in sugar, and even sneaks in some protein because I love you all that much.
You can use any nut/seed butter you like in these – maybe swap for cashew butter or almond butter to keep paleo if that’s your thing!
And if you skip the collagen, these are totally vegan (no need to sub for anything). Keep these peanut butter crack bars stored in the freezer and let thaw at room temp for a minute or two before eating – if you can wait that long!
