chocolate peanut butter bars

These easy, no bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are perfectly crunchy from the roasted peanuts, a little bit salty and oh so chocolatey. Plus they are vegan, gluten free and easily made refined sugar free. They come together in 20 minutes and spend the rest of the time chillin in the fridge!
