I recently rediscovered my recipe for peanut butter chocolate granola bars. I originally posted it back in July 2020. However, I think it’s time for a re-post, since I’ve finally figured out how to use the WordPress recipe shortcode.
These are the perfect snack – quick, portable, filling, and delicious. And you don’t even have to turn on the oven – it’s all made in the microwave with only 6 ingredients. Enjoy!
