Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup chocolate protein powder
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup Reese’s Pieces plus extra for topping if desired
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • 4.5 tbsp honey
  • 4.5 tbsp water plus extra if/as needed

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. Add rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, creamy peanut butter, ⅓ cup Reese’s Pieces, mini chocolate chips, honey, and 4.5 tbsp water to a large bowl.
  3. Mix all ingredients until well combined.
  4. If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, add water one teaspoon at a time until it comes together.
  5. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Cover the pan with foil or plastic wrap.
  7. Chill until set, either in the freezer for at least 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes.
  8. Once firm, lift the bars out of the pan by grabbing the parchment or wax paper.
  9. Transfer the whole block to a cutting board.
  10. Cut into 12 bars.
  11. Let the bars thaw slightly so they are pliable.
  12. Gently press extra Reese’s Pieces onto the tops of the bars.
  13. Store the bars in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

Always line your pan for easy removal.
Add water slowly, one teaspoon at a time, to avoid a sticky mixture.
Don’t skip the chilling time – it’s crucial for firm bars.
Store in an airtight container for best freshness.
