Big Spoon Roasters Cherry Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars — 12-Count, Gluten-Free No Refined Sugar

Big Spoon Roasters Cherry Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are handcrafted whole-food snack bars that pair fresh-roasted peanut butter with tart cherries, dark chocolate, and house-baked granola for a gluten-free, no-refined-sugar treat.

These bars center Big Spoon’s signature freshly roasted peanut butter and combine chewy dried cherries, rich dark chocolate, and crisp granola for balanced texture and flavor. Made in small batches in Durham, North Carolina, the recipe focuses on minimally processed ingredients—oats, peanuts, honey, and dark chocolate—so you get a satisfying, shelf-stable snack without palm oil, refined sugar, or GMOs. The 12-count pack is intended for everyday use: tossed into backpacks, lunchboxes, or office drawers as a reliable bite of fuel.

What makes these bars different from typical protein or candy bars?

Instead of relying on isolated protein powders, sugar syrups, or hydrogenated fats, these bars use whole-food ingredients and fresh-roasted nut butter to create naturally rich flavor and artisan texture. The peanut butter is roasted and blended in-house, which preserves aroma and delivers a creamier mouthfeel than industrially processed nut spreads.

• Fresh-roasted peanut butter as the primary binder for genuine nut flavor
• House-baked granola adds crispness rather than relying on fillers
• No refined sugar, no palm oil, non-GMO verified and gluten-free formulation

How do these bars fit into an on-the-go routine?

They’re compact, shelf-stable, and portion-controlled—perfect for grabbing when you need quick energy or a textured snack that won’t leave you searching for utensils. The combination of healthy fats, oats, and moderate honey-sweetened carbohydrate provides steady fuel for work, hikes, or errands.

• Individually wrapped bars in a 12-count box for easy stashing
• Textural contrast (chewy cherries, crunchy granola, creamy peanut butter) keeps snacking satisfying
• Durable packaging and no refrigeration required for travel

Are these bars suitable for specific dietary restrictions?

The recipe is intentionally free of refined sugar and palm oil and carries Non-GMO Project Verification and gluten-free credentials. They are not nut-allergen free because peanuts are a core ingredient, so they’re not appropriate for those with peanut allergies.

• Gluten-free and Non-GMO Project Verified for ingredient transparency
• No soy or palm oil included; no refined sugar used
• Contains peanuts and oats—check labels for cross-contact if you have severe allergies

How should I store and enjoy these bars for best quality?

Keep bars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; refrigeration is optional but can extend firmness if you prefer a firmer texture. They’re excellent straight from the wrapper, chopped over yogurt, or paired with fruit for a quick hybrid snack or light breakfast.

• Store at room temperature for convenient on-the-go access
• Chill briefly for a firmer, chocolate-set texture
• Pair with yogurt or a banana for added protein and freshness

Who is this for: These Cherry Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars suit shoppers who value ingredient transparency, crave artisan nut-butter flavor, and want a portable whole-food snack. They work well for outdoor enthusiasts, commuters, parents packing lunchboxes, and anyone seeking a refined-sugar-free alternative to mass-market bars—so long as peanut allergies aren’t a concern.
