WLS Friendly Fudge
Fudgey No Bake Protein Bars
Makes a 1/2 of 9 X 13 pan. So double the recipe if you want it to fill a whole 9 x 13 pan. Cut into small pieces as it is very rich but pretty good stats. I am not a fan of peanut butter in general because even though its good for you fat, its still a lot of fat but I don't mind it something portion controlled such as this. Would make great almost like fudge for the holidays also!
