Step 3
Add the nut butter to the mixture. Pour/scrape the mixture into an 8" x 8" pan. #SpoonTip: Other sizes work, but remember that thicker bars will be more difficult to cut. I always put my mixture in off-brand Tupperware.

Step 4
Freeze for at least 2 hours before easing the bars out of the pan and cutting them. Store in the freezer and enjoy!
