How to make Luna Bars (the healthy way!)

Luna Bars

Step by step Youtube tutorial

1/2 C brown rice syrup or Agave (I also think honey would be great)
1/2 C + 2 TBSP all natural salted peanut butter
2 tsp Pure Vanilla extract
1/2 tsp Organic Salt
3 C brown crispy rice (Crispy brown rice )
2-3 TBSP protein powder (optional)
About 5 oz. melted chocolate. (I use semi sweet chocolate chips sweetened with cane sugar)  Chocolate chips

         Mix sweetener, peanut butter, salt, and vanilla in sauce pan and heat. Mix well. Remove from heat and pour over crispy brown rice and protein powder. Mix really well. Pour into greased or lined pan and pat down ( I line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and then put a second piece of parchment paper over the mixture to pat it down really well). Melt chocolate and spread over mixture. Put in freezer for about thirty min and then serve. Enjoy!

Healthy Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Healthy Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Step by step Youtube instructions

These creamy smooth Reese's will have you completely hooked after only one batch but the best part is you don't even have to feel guilty. 

Note: The Chocolate used in this tutorial is dark, if you are not a dark chocolate fan just add more sweetener or use a different chocolate.

Filling

1/2 C Ground Flax Seed
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 C Honey
1/2 C Natural Peanut Butter

       Mix flax seed and salt. Add Honey and Peanut Butter. Mix well (It will be a bit stiff but that's okay. Just mix till it is like a play dough). Put little coin sized chunks into molds and pour the home made chocolate (Step by step Youtube instructions for the chocolate) or melted semi-sweet chocolate chips over it until the filling is concealed. Let harden in fridge or freezer. Enjoy!
