Back in May I blogged about my Rhubarb Flapjacks, at the time I was on a mission to find a healthy flapjack recipe, I FAILED.

SWEET TREATS: Peanut butter squares
Peanut butter makes me so happy, so much so that I'm frequently spotted at my desk scoffing a spoonful as an afternoon snack (that's not a snack Amy, PUT THE SPOON DOWN).

Everyone loves flapjacks right? Yes, I thought so, the only thing is that they are usually jam packed with sugar, syrup and butter - rubbish for anyone trying to eat well.
