Do you have a sweet tooth? I sure do.

Most days I find myself craving chocolate at least twice throughout the day. Because of my infinite love for chocolate, I have found myself trying to recreate my favorite “unhealthy” recipes into ones that are healthy and all-natural!

I mistakenly made these bars when an energy ball recipe went wrong and I have never been happier with an outcome. They’re packed with natural proteins and fats, making them perfect for a pre-workout or post-workout treat.

What I thought was going to be a minor disaster turned into my favorite things I have created thus far!

These bars are not only chocolate-y as heck, but they are packed with so many healthy fats.

These peanut butter chocolate protein bars are already a must have in my freezer and I am excited for you to try them.

I stick to a pretty high fat, low carb diet and these babies fit the mold completely.

If you are looking for a chocolate-y snack that isn’t unhealthy than these bars will quickly become your lifesavers!

I’m obsessed with these because they taste like a candy bar but are actually good for you! Part of the reason I love cooking so much is that it’s fun to show people that you can make healthy food taste even better than popular junk food.

What do you enjoy about cooking?
