Peanut Butter White Chocolate Protein Bars

April 19, 2015

VeganPeanutButterWhiteChocolateBars

I was in the checkout line at the health food store when a local vendors bin caught my eye. Peanut Butter White Chocolate Protein Bars, the sign read. I am totally not an impulse buyer but that sign was screaming “You need me! I’m delicious!”. Peanut butter and white chocolate was enough to get my attention. Maybe it was just my inner sweet tooth but I promptly bought three bars right there on the spot.

I’m so glad I did. Wow! Peanut butter and white chocolate is my new favorite flavor combination. After my first bar, I instantly began plotting my own recipe for this decadent treat full of lovely white chocolate and creamy peanut butter base. I officially want to eat nothing but these bars from here on out. That should be taken as a warning for the future of this blog!

I love this recipe for a few reasons. Like many protein bars, you feel like you are eating a candy bar over something that is actually good for you. This recipe tastes like delicious cookie dough! A no-bake cookie bar just makes things too easy. These bars are refined sugar-free and protein-rich and they are completely vegan. Bonus: You can make them as gluten-full or as gluten-free as you’d like.

All that good stuff makes it hard to believe these peanut butter white chocolate chip tastes-like-cookie-dough bars are actually healthy! Whip up a batch to see for yourself. If you love soft cookie dough, white chocolate and peanut butter, you’re in for the best treat!

    Hi all! We’re planning on making our own protein bars soon, do you think we can make these with dark chocolate instead of white chocolate? Thanks!

    What else could I substitute the white chocolate chunks for? These bars look amazing!

      Sorry, Kim, if you want to keep these sugar-free, you’re going to have to make your own white chocolate chunks. If you don’t care about keeping these naturally sweetened, you can use any white chocolate product you’d like. I hope that helps. The white chocolate recipe is pretty easy if you want to give it a shot. :)

    Mmm those sound delicious! Peanut butter + chocolate is a terrific combination, so I’m sure these bars are great :)

      It’s true, peanut butter and chocolate is the best combo so it’s no wonder white chocolate doesn’t taste good too. :)
