Raw Caramel Peanut Crunch Bars

Okay, yummmm.  I'm calling them recovery food because they're loaded with carbs (dates) and protein (peanut butter).  And, well, they're easy to make, grab and go; they're filling and they taste good. 

As an added bonus, Donna Hay's recipe was quick to make; you can find it on Epicurious.com at   https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/raw-caramel-peanut-crunch-bars. 

When I made them, my dates and peanut butter did not form a paste in the food processor so I ended up adding a tablespoon of water.  I could not find the recipe's puffed brown rice at two grocery stores so I  substituted my kids' Rice Krispies (or Rice Bubbles as they are called here in Australia).  And I used my swimming shoulders and arms to really press the sticky mixture into my pan.  Because my peanut butter doesn't have any added salt, I think a pinch of salt would've helped the flavor.  But even without the salt, the kids and I woofed these down in a day.  So much for having them on hand after my workouts!
