No Bake Peanut Butter Fudge Bars

I like to get my Stroller Boot Camp mamas a little something for the holiday eat year.
This year I decided to make my treat! 

I'm sitting here working through my to do list at my desk.  Writing the post about these Fudge Bars was not the first thing on my list.  Sooooo, by the time I got to it I had munched through all of my leftover bars before I had the chance to take a picture.  I knew I should have taken a picture yesterday!!!  At least you know they were yummy!

​With out any furthur ado here is the recipe:
No Bake Peanut Butter Fudge Protein Bars

Ingredients:
1 cup oats, ground into a flour
1/2 cup quick oats
1/3 cup chocolate protein powder 
1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2-3 Tbsp. chocolate chunks for melting (I used unsweetened 65% cacao dark chocolate)

1. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine oat flour, quick oats, protein powder, and crispy rice cereal. Mix until well combined and set aside.
3. In a small pan over medium heat, add peanut butter and honey, stirring until the peanut butter is melted and fully combined with the honey. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Remove from heat and pour into the dry mixture. Stir until everything is fully combined.
5. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Using a spatula or your hands, spread the mixture evenly in the pan, pressing down firmly. *
6. Place chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high in 20 second intervals, mixing between each. When chocolate is fully melted, drizzle over the top of the packed mix using a spoon.
7. Place pan into fridge and allow to cool for 30 minutes before cutting into bars.

*make sure you press down hard all over in the pan or the bars might fall apart.*
