Honey and Hazelnut Butter Granola Bars (Giveaway)

Honey and Hazelnut Butter Granola Bars

It’s officially summer here in the valley of the sun and I know the 114 degree temps we have been having are killing me. Since it’s been so hot we have been doing a lot of getaways up north. It’s much cooler up north (by at least 20-40 degrees); even though it’s a huge amount of driving I enjoy the cooler temperatures and the scenery. With all the driving we have been eating so much finger foods, granola, veggie chips and so many protein bars. I decided it was time to make some nice homemade treats for us to eat, because the prepackage goodies we have been purchasing, have gotten pretty pricey.

That’s why when Peanut Butter and Co contacted me to try there new chocmeister, I had to try the dark chocolate version. It’s a creamy hazelnut spread that’s low in sugar, high in protein and only has 6 easy ingredients. I love the fact that it’s lower in calories than peanut butter and if you’re highly allergic to peanuts this maybe the perfect alternative for you to try. I really enjoyed this new hazelnut butter spread from Peanut Butter and Co. I am so excited they gave me the opportunity to try it out and you as well. Giveaway after recipe!

Honey and Hazelnut Butter Granola Bars Recipe:
