Recipe by kol67

This is a recipe that I sort of made up using healthy ingredients that I like and want my children to eat. I warn you, they are addicting, especially if you LOVE peanut butter. I have tried other protien bar recipes but like the crunchiness that these bars afford. Plus with the powdered milk, you have calcium, too! Do try to use the brand names that I mention, they are healthy, high in protien, vitamins, and have no trans fats. ENJOY.

DIRECTIONS

I bought all my ingredients except the Alpen at Wal----.
Get out the mixer right now because there is no way that you can mix these ingredients well enough by hand.
Put all ingredients in the bowl, mixing slowly at first until just about blended.
Using a paddle or spoon, carefully fold melted chocolate chips into mix and mix and mix until well blended.
Dump contents unto wax paper, topping with another piece of wax paper and press into about a 7" square.
Slice into whatever size bar you like (I aim for around 21) remembering that peanut butter is extremely fattening.
Refridgerate AFTER SLICING.
