I got this recipe off of another web site, and I've modified it many different ways. Usually I'll make two layers, one with vanilla protein powder, and one with chocolate. (I cut these into smaller portions as they are doubled). My favorite is a German chocolate
type bar, I make one layer chocolate (I add melted unsweetened chocolate to make it fudgier with extra spenda) The second layer I omit the peanut butter and add 1/2 cup pecan pieces and 1/2 cup coconut. The ways you can vary this recipe are endless. The bars always turn out a little different depending upon what type of protein powder I'm using. It's possible to lower carb counts by carefully choosing ingredients.
