I searched for a recipe to use up a bag of peanut butter chips and found one that called for all sorts of ingredients from my pantry. Oh, and it tasted good too.
I have a clear bin where I keep food that comes in bags like taco mixes, rice, and chocolate chips. Of course, I want to empty this bin so I rummaged through it to see what I could use.
Down at the bottom was a bag of peanut butter chips. I have no idea where this came from, but it was time for it to disappear. I googled recipes, and one caught my eye. Taste of Home had a recipe called Peanut Butter Granola Mini Bars. I could tell from the photo that it used oats so I checked it out.
Not only does it use oats (which everyone knows I’m trying to use up), it asked for peanut butter and honey, two other ingredients that I’d love to remove from my pantry. We have two containers of honey and neither one of us use it. Why did we buy it?
The recipe is easy to make and the results are delicious. I refrigerated the bars, which helped them hold together and made them less sticky. The combination of peanut butter, chocolate, honey, and oats is a winner. I have just enough peanut butter chips left to make another batch, and then that bag is gone. Decluttering the kitchen is tasty work.
