Ingredients

Peanut Butter Layer:

  • ¾ cup natural creamy peanut butter (or powdered peanut butter like PB2 mixed with water for fewer points)

  • ¼ cup light butter or reduced-fat margarine, melted

  • ¼ cup honey or sugar-free maple syrup

  • 1½ cups quick oats (or crushed graham crackers for a cookie-like base)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

Chocolate Layer:

  • ¾ cup semisweet or sugar-free chocolate chips

  • 1 tablespoon light butter or coconut oil


Instructions

  1. Make the peanut butter base:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted butter, honey (or syrup), vanilla, and salt. Stir in the oats (or graham crumbs) until well mixed. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.

  2. Press into a pan:
    Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.

  3. Prepare the chocolate topping:
    Melt chocolate chips with the butter or coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl (20-second intervals, stirring each time) until smooth.

  4. Assemble and chill:
    Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

  5. Cut and serve:
    Slice into 16 bars. Keep refrigerated for best texture.

Serving size: 1 bar
WW Points (approx.): 4–5 points per bar (depending on your peanut butter and chocolate choice)
