  With almost twice as many grams of carbs than protein, this is really not a protein bar. - 4/8/13

  I actually think it is very well balanced nutritionally! Especially if you are planning to use it during prolonged exercise such as hiking or bike riding. The carbs are not excessive for that kind of snack/energy bar; more fiber and protein than almost all commercially available bars. - 4/9/13

  Folks, don't down-rate a recipe because you *think* one of the ingredients is unhealthy without confirming. The suggested brand of peanut butter is just pb with defatted peanuts. Nothing strange or artificial. Not something I would buy, but less weird than whey powder or commercial protein bars. - 9/10/13

  This is a yummy and easy treat! Low in calories and easy to make. I did swap out the almonds for dried cherries. Fantastic! - 4/8/13

  Since I use dates instead of nuts, I melt the chocolate in a separate bowl & drizzle over the bars. Great for post-workout snacks & fast breakfasts - but keep in mind they aren't as sweet as store bought bars. Just as good with plain protein powder. Cheap to put together with bulk ingredients too. - 8/4/13

  This might be a good recipe but it is so crumbly that I had to eat the bars with a spoon! - 7/8/13

  Please look at the ingredients in the peanut butter you use. Many of them have corn starch and icing sugar. I would think that the recipe should be promoting a natural peanut butter. - 4/8/13

  What a great base recipe and to switch out what we prefer so easy. Thanks for this recipe. I am always amazed how people can't think on their own with a recipe, to change out or add what they feel it needs or they need. You did good! - 9/10/13

  Doubled this, made in a bigger pan, and made the bars smaller, got 18, so calorie count is less! Good little pick me up for afternoon or morning snack! - 4/19/13

  1/4c of water? Not likely that is way too dry, I had to add at least a half of cup more. Frustrating when recipes are not accurate. - 4/14/13

  Well, this was challenging. I needed more than 1/4 c. of water to incorporate the ingredients. chocolate would not adhere to the carefully pressed almonds. Hope they taste good. - 4/14/13

  My son is allergic to peanut butter so I use soy butter in recipes that call for peanut butter. It works just as well and no allergy precautions!! - 4/8/13

  My daughter and I really liked them. Going to make them again. Think I used too much water because they are very sticky. I put more water in it because it was hard to incorporate all the ingredients. Still good. - 4/13/13

  Made these as is and they are delicious! Also easy to vary according to each person's tastes or nutritional goals. I only did a single batch to try them, but will make again in bigger batches and maybe some varieties to freeze and have handy for snacks. Easy and versatile! - 4/13/13

  Healthy dessert, not a meal or protein replacement. I don't add chocolate, but do add a dab of honey or agave. Use organic ingredients. I haven't used it with whey yet, but often add yogurt or fruit for the liquid. As I said, it is my healthy dessert. - 4/8/13

  I used prepared PB2 for the peanut butter, 1 (10gram) square of 72% dark chocolate instead of chips and a little more than 1/4 C. water and they were way too crumbly, but tasted good mixed with a mashed banana. - 2/20/14

  I didn´t have powdered whey, so I replaced with ground soy and liquid whey in place of water. I didn´t think about the soy not having flavor, so my bars were not tasty. But I found them filling and I sprinkled with sweetner. - 5/25/13

  If you do not have dry milk, you can use plain yogurt and reduce the water to blend...I will also have to use whole almonds and grind those in small grinder..probably with the flax seeds..
  Then I will drizzle the chocolate over the bars..dC - 11/9/13
