Nothing, that’s what.

Tips for the best Peanut Butter Granola Bars
- If peanut butter isn’t your favorite nut butter, use another! Almond, cashew, or sunflower butter would all work fine here.
- Use a different type of chocolate chip! If you wanted, you can use white chocolate chips, peanut butter chocolate chips, butterscotch chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips. If you wanted to cut down on the carbs, you can always use Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
- If you don’t prefer honey, you can use another type of sweetener like molasses or maple syrup
