Betty Lou's Chocolate Peanut Caramel Smacker, GF

You’ll need some self-control for this one. Betty Lou’s Peanut Caramel Smacker is a decadent treat: perfectly layered with peanuts, caramel and nougat, and covered in chocolate. But don’t let the candy-bar taste fool you. Each little 1.4 oz bar is packed with 8 grams of protein and five grams of fiber. There’s no processed sugar. No GMOs, and of course no gluten because it’s Betty Lou’s. You’ll definitely want more than one.

When Betty Lou Carrier began making healthy snack bars in her kitchen, her motto was “just great stuff, and plenty of it.” 

“I’d throw in whatever I had… pumpkin seeds, oats, honey, brown rice, nuts, berries, you name it,” Betty Lou said. “Pretty soon, I was the most popular mom in the neighborhood.”

Betty Lou’s son, John Sizemore, confirmed that and adds a shout-out to his mom’s work ethic.

“My friends in grade school would come over and just beg for the stuff,” he said. “What I saw was a hard-working lady with a passion for helping people with their health.”

That was 35 years ago. “We were gluten-free before anyone was even talking about gluten,” Betty Lou said. Today her McMinnville, Ore., company produces 35 different gluten-free products in impressive quantities, including their new Chocolate Peanut Caramel Smacker.
