A sweet and salty no bake treat inspired by the classic candy bar with a chewy center covered in salted peanuts!
Easy Homemade Payday Bars
Just about every day something happens, or is said, that I make a mental note of to blog about. Sometimes I remember, but most of the time I don’t. There are times I even write it down and then look at the note later and have absolutely no idea what it means!
All I know for sure is these Homemade Payday Candy Bars are way better than the actual store bought version! I love these because they aren’t super sweet, they are made with real ingredients, and they work as a perfect snack or just the right sweet treat after a meal!
If you love snacking, then I think you’ll love Puppy Chow, S’mores Energy Bites, Chia Seed Energy Balls, and Monster Cookie Energy Balls, too!
