Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup agave syrup or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup crushed roasted peanuts
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the peanut butter and syrup, and mix well until smooth.
Add Peanuts: Stir in the crushed peanuts.
Spread Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined baking dish and spread it evenly.
Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until the mixture hardens.
Cut and Store: Cut into bars and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Adjusting Texture: If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more peanut butter or syrup to make it smoother. If it’s too sticky, add a touch of extra cocoa powder or refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes before spreading it in the dish.
For Extra Crunch: Sprinkle some crushed peanuts or cacao nibs on top before chilling for added texture.
Sweeter Bars? If you prefer a sweeter taste, mix in a tablespoon of honey or a few finely chopped dates.
Make It More Chocolatey: Drizzle the bars with melted dark chocolate or add mini chocolate chips into the mixture for a richer treat.
