Power Bars.

Episode #134, Power Trip
Recipe: Protien Bars
Results: Very good, healthy protein bars. Were they as good as a Cliff bar? Well, no. Were they cheaper than a Cliff bar? Well, maybe, but not by much. Because I could not get a good chop on the dried fruit (why the hell is it so expen$ive?) I tried using the mini food processor, which was a mistake. It created a fine powder of some of the fruit, while not chopping the rest... Not wanting to waste this fruit (did I mention it was expen$ive?) I incorporated everything into the mix. They are good (and still are, I eat them every day or every otheer day - the recipe makes quite a few), and I know I'll make these quite often. I'd like to bump up the protein, and maybe reduce the heavy peanut butter taste a smidge... Also, the recipe as listed is supposed to make 24 2"x2" square "bars", but on the show it looks as if (it's not specifically shown, however) that he cuts the "cake" into 16 pieces. The bar he munches on camera is definately not 2"x2"...
