They are made with whole grains, natural peanut butter, and are naturally sweetened with brown rice syrup.  Plus, you can enjoy the snack with them, and not feel guilty about it \u2013 perfect!Since they come together so fast, they are always good for when you need something fast, like for homemade school lunches or a last-minute treat. I haven't tried them with puffed quinoa, but I really should, because my youngest daughter LOVES puffed quinoa and I bet they would work perfectly with these.I just try to forget we have the puffed quinoa cause she makes such a mess with it, so we hide it way back in the cupboard. I know. Not the best way to encourage healthy eating, but if you spill a box of that on the floor, you're picking it up for days!I understand that most grocery stores don\u2019t carry puffed millet, and I hate creating recipes without easily accessible items\u2026but this one is worth it.  I have already made 4 batches of these treats (they are popular around here), and I still have half a bag left, so they last a long time.  If you don\u2019t have a Whole Foods or natural food store nearby, you can always order them online - gotta love Amazon :-).  Your kids, spouse, and neighbors will thank you \u2013 if you end up sharing!Do you have a treat that takes you back to childhood?Do you like to browse around Whole Foods? When you try these healthy peanut butter chocolate bars tell me how you liked them.PrintRecipeclock clock iconcutlery cutlery iconflag flag iconfolder folder iconinstagram instagram iconpinterest pinterest iconfacebook facebook iconprint print iconsquares squares iconheart heart iconheart solid heart solid icon\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5-Ingredient, No-Bake Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Puffed Millet Bars Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 Star\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 from 2 reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAuthor: Rebecca Baron\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrep Time: 5 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCook Time: 10 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTotal Time: 15 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYield: 16 1x\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCategory: Dessert\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCuisine: Clean Eating\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrint Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSave Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\tRecipe Saved\t(function(){\tfunction ensureSlickstream() {\t\treturn new Promise((resolve, reject) => {\t\t\tif (window.slickstream) {\t\t\t\tresolve(window.slickstream.v1);\t\t\t} else {\t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener('slickstream-ready', () => {\t\t\t\t\tresolve(window.slickstream.v1);\t\t\t\t});\t\t\t}\t\t});\t}\tfunction updateFavoriteButtonState() {\t\tensureSlickstream().then(function(slickstream) {\t\t\tvar isFavorite = slickstream.favorites.getState();\t\t\tdocument.querySelectorAll('.tasty-recipes-slickstream-button').forEach(function(el) {\t\t\t\tel.querySelector('.tasty-recipes-saved').style.display = isFavorite ? null : 'none';\t\t\t\tel.querySelector('.tasty-recipes-not-saved').style.display = isFavorite ?
