Get Muscle Fast: Make Your Own High Quality Chocolate Peanut Butter High Protein Fudge

Written by Jeff Behar, MS, MBA

Forget stale store bought protein bars, and forget the $25 a pound high fattening fudge at the mall stores. Making low fat, high quality, high protein fudge, that is healthy to eat is simple.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar Ingredients:1 cup chocolate whey protein powder3 tablespoons Hershey's dark chocolate powder7 oz. of natural peanut butter
1 cup oatmeal rolled oats
1/4 cup honey (or stevia, add to taste) Equipment needed:10 pieces of aluminum foil sized 1/2 roll X 6"blenderbowlheavy spatulafreezer safe tin
Directions:Blend oatmeal to powder and put in large mixing bowl.Add peanut butter a little at a time,blending between additions, until the mixture has the texture of cookiedough and holds its shape when pressed together.Form a pattie one inch thick with grooves 1/2 inch apart 1/2 inch deep on top.
Pour honey evenly over surface and mix in well. Another healthy option is to add stevia, a naturalherbal sweetener to taste. Note: feel free toexperiment and add other things.Form milky way size and shape blobs of the muck with spatula and knife or spoon and wipe onto aluminum square.Put tin to the freezer. Chill for a few hours.When nicely frozen, remove and cut intobars of desired size.Wrap each bar individually in wax paper. I liketo wrap a few then put them into a container or plastic bag which Ithen put back into the freezer.Keep the bars chilled until just beforeeating, if possible. You don't need to be overly fastidious about this(i.e. you could leave one in your bag for an afternoon), but stayingcold helps the bars keep their shape, and keeps them from going bad. Ikeep mine in the freezer then grab one out on my way to work and keepit in the fridge at work. If you want to be able to eat themimmediately after retrieving them from the cooler, you may want to justrefrigerate them instead of freezing.Other RecipesThere are lots of things you can do with the basic recipe to spruce it up a bit, such as:
Add one banana to the mix tomake the texture a little chewier. More than onebanana seems to make it too gooey. Adding any kind of fruit puree or abanana will give the bars a moister, chewier texture.You can also try add dry spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg.Here you can also add nuts or seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds.Just grind them up and mix in with the oats. Walnuts and pumpkin seeds will addomega-3s, and Brazil nuts will add selenium (an antioxidant).You can also try adding a shot of coconut or vanilla flavoring. Just remember to add a little extra oatsto compensate for the added liquid.To figure out the nutritional breakdown (i.e. calories, fat,protein, carbs), just total up everything you put in, and divide by thenumber of bars you made (assuming you made the bars more or less thesame size).
