These tasty treats have only four ingredients: peanut butter, honey, dark chocolate, and whole-wheat pretzels for extra fiber. Peanut butter is rich in vitamin E as well as magnesium, which is a cofactor in protein synthesis and muscle and nerve function. PB is also rich in potassium, which is a key player in skeletal and smooth muscle contraction.
