Salty Peanut Butter and Chocolate Bars You Won't Be Able to Stop Eating

I'll admit, even I sometimes get the munchies for something that isn't the absolute healthiest, lowest in calories, or highest in protein.

Just a simple mix of something sweet and salty to snack on without any guilt.

So, even though I am (once again) in the middle of a long cutting phase, I manage to fit calorie-dense foods into my daily balance.

And trust me, it's worth it, big time.

Honestly, there's no "revolutionary" news here—just salty crackers with peanut butter and chocolate.

But—and there's a "but"—when it all comes together into a sweet-and-salty layered snack, it’s a party in your mouth.

So the next time you have the munchies, think of me and this salty peanut butter chocolate cracker snack.

A bit about the recipe:

I used a 23 cm by 15 cm Pyrex dish.

I used simple store-bought crackers; you can obviously swap them for any cracker you like, or even cookies like Petit Beurre.

In the video, I used natural peanut butter. If you prefer a thicker peanut butter, go for it—it will only make the recipe better (just make sure it doesn't contain palm oil).

I melted the chocolate in the microwave and added a tablespoon of canola oil to make it more fluid (adds about 100 kcal to the entire recipe). You can try skipping it, but the chocolate texture will be less pourable.

How to eat it?

When you have serious munchies (careful not to finish the whole tray!).

Since the snack contains a high amount of fat, I wouldn't recommend eating it right before a workout, as it might cause discomfort during exercise.
