If you like a sweet snack but want one without the guilt afterwards, this is for you! Robbie Raugh joined Mercedes in the kitchen to show us all how to make her Easy Peasy Peanut Butter Bars that we can all eat guilt free this fall season. Robbie has been teaching us about healthy meals for years and this delicious dessert just adds to her collection of delicious dishes.

These no-bake chocolate peanut butter bars are super easy and healthy dessert made from four gluten-free and vegan simple ingredients like peanut butter, oatmeal, maple syrup, and chocolate chips. They taste like a Reese’s peanut butter cup but made healthier!
