Sounds yummy!  Do the leftovers need to be kept in the fridge?  I'm going to make them tonight.

 Yes! They should be stored in the fridge. Good catch. I'll add that.

#cookingfordummies

When you crush the Fiber One, how do YOU do it?
Also re; crushing Fiber One - are the crumbs powder crumbs, gritty crumbs or recognizable bits of Fiber one crumbs?

I can't wait to fix them again! Do you think they can be frozen?

I love them. Forever.

 I use my magic bullet. No chunks. It's like bread crumbs.

How did yours come out?

They were great!  (except I kinda forgot the cinnamon lol )

I put the fiber one in a bag and used a rolling pin. Took forever lol so I just had a little bit of every kind of crumb.  I used PB2 so needed to add a little bit more water.  Did the size that made 8 and they were perfect.  PER-FECT

Just had to let you know that, once again, my daily meal plans went exactly as written on MFP - I am sure thanks to these handy snacks!

 Glad to hear it! Did you add cinnamon to the second batch? Cinnamon and peanut butter together is a favorite combo of mine. It takes PB "to the next level."
