The Healthy Luxe PB & J Bars coated in vegan dark chocolate are going to change your snack game. Healthy, delicious and a great on the go treat~ Loaded with Pic’s Peanut Butter of course!
Maybe you’re trying to make friends in the office, or perhaps the kids are back to school and you want healthy snacks for the lunch boxes. Whatever it is, we have you sorted!
The PB & J Bars are packed with PIC’s Peanut Butter which only contains two ingredients; peanuts, and sea salt (and only a little bit). Unless you get the NO SALT option, in which case JUST peanuts! You’ll have to believe us when we tell you it is simply so good, you might just go a little nutty yourself! PIC’s are most definitely the experts in peanut butter and if you haven’t yet tried them, then ladies and gentleman it’s time. (we are sorry in advance if we create peanut butter monsters out of you all!)
So now that we have the peanut butter situation sorted, we’ve got a caramel layer, raspberry and chocolate layer and last but not least… a yummy base made from dates, almonds, a little pop of buckinis…and VOILÀ!
The PB & J Bars are a mouth watering, on the go snack you can indulge in and not feel guilty about!
