Weight Watchers Candy Bar
A guilt-free, chocolatey treat featuring peanut butter and honey, perfect for weight watchers or those seeking a sweet snack with lower calories and satisfying flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix vanilla, equal, and peanut butter until smooth.
- Add chocolate, water, grape-nuts, and honey to the mixture and combine thoroughly.
- Shape the mixture into 2 logs.
- Wrap each log with aluminum foil and freeze until firm.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using natural peanut butter instead of regular, as it has a richer taste. If you prefer a crunchier texture, substitute grape-nuts with crushed nuts or granola. For a lower-calorie sweetener, try stevia as an alternative to equal. Mixing the ingredients thoroughly is key to achieving a smooth consistency, so take your time.
Serving Suggestions
These candy bars make a great snack or dessert on their own. For a more indulgent treat, serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a fun twist, slice them into bite-sized pieces and use them as toppings for yogurt or oatmeal.
Storage & Reheating
Once the candy bars are frozen, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. To enjoy them again, simply thaw at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving, or you can microwave them for a few seconds for a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these candy bars vegan?
Yes, you can easily make these candy bars vegan by using a plant-based peanut butter and ensuring that the chocolate you choose is dairy-free. Additionally, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan-friendly sweetener.
How do I ensure the bars hold their shape?
To ensure the bars hold their shape, be sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Shaping them into logs and then wrapping them tightly in aluminum foil before freezing will help maintain their form. The freezing process is crucial for them to set properly.
Can I add other ingredients to the mixture?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your candy bars by adding ingredients like dried fruits, seeds, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor. Just be mindful of the overall consistency, as adding too many dry ingredients might require a bit more peanut butter or water to keep the mixture cohesive.
