Notes

nutty bars in pan
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer for up to 3 weeks. 
You can get creative here and use any nuts of your choice. You can omit the PB2, salt, and coconut or add in other toppings like dried fruit and other nuts. 
If you prefer more chocolate to nuts then add another 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for more of a bark style.
