Additional Comments:

This recipe is great for anyone in a hurry or after a hard workout. It is also great for any kid that is a picky eater. Kids love the M&Ms and the chocolate chips and the recipe gives them energy! This recipe is also for people with peanut allergies if chosen to use substitutes. If using the substitutes, it tastes just as good!
