These Eat-More Bar Squares were round for a lengthy time. If I bear in mind correctly, I first saw the recipe on the edge of a peanut butter jar. 

Some would possibly name those no bake cookie squares. The absence of flour though, or any oven baking at all, plus the technique and ingredients used, make them obviously extra of a candy to me.
Regardless, Eat-More bars are very simple to make and when you've got peanut allergy issues. Any different nut butter and nuts must work simply as well; like almond or cashew butter.


If you stack them with little squares of parchment paper among them, you possibly can drop them into little clean cellophane bags, tie the higher with a festive ribbon and provide them as huge items for Christmas too.
