Energy Bars

My favorite energy bars are homemade peanut butter chocolate. I have been making these for years. This recipe i got from my mom awhile back and lost it. I ended up making it from memory and in the process changed a few things! The good thing about them is you can make them in bulk and freeze them. They are the perfect on the go snack! 

Here is the recipe. You can add or substitute ingredients as you see fit!

1/2 cup butter 

1/4 cup brown sugar 

1/2 cup peanut butter 

1/2 tsp vanilla

3 cups rice crispy cereal

2 cups oats

1/2 cup ground flax seed

1 cup chocolate for drizzling

1 tsp olive oil to mix with chocolate for drizzling. 

Place butter peanut butter and sugar in microwavable safe bowl. Heat just until melted. Stir mixture and add vanilla. Grind rice crispies oats and flax seed. Slowly add to butter mixture and mix thoroughly. Pat on greased cookie sheet until spread evenly. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Refrigerate for one hour or until chocolate is set. Cut into bars and wrap individually. Can be frozen for longer storage. 

Everything ready to go!
