A high-quality nutritious snack that is simple to make and an option that helps me from eating a package of Hershey bars! Let’s face it – life is busy and we can all quickly get side tracked by the impulse purchase while waiting in line at the grocery checkout. I made these no bake protein squares while my husband prepared our Labor Day family dinner. For the kids, I added colorful sprinkles to the protein squares after melting the chocolate on top. Enjoy!
