Notes

Storage: Refrigerate for up to 1 week or to freeze, wrap them individually and place them in an air-tight container. Freeze bars for up to 2-3 months.
Chocolate peanut butter topping: You can leave it off if you want, or just add a few chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate if you feel the thick layer is too much. OR just add the peanut butter, and leave out the chocolate. You have options!
