Peanut Butter Squares

It's Friday!

Are you in need of a little treat? 

Fridays are usually when those temptations sneak up and if you're not careful, treats can add up over the weekend and can easily reverse all the work you put in during the week.  Avoid that trap by having a little treat, but keep it clean, and watch the serving size.

Try this Peanut Butter Square recipe found from the new Fixate Cookbook by Autumn Calabrese.
This makes 16 squares, and each square counts as a yellow and 2 1/2 Tsp

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 1/2 cups all-natural smooth peanut butter
• 1/2 cup raw honey (or pure maple syrup)
