Ingredients

2 tablespoons no-sugar peanut butter

2 tablespoons butter melted

1/2 teaspoon liquid artificial sweetener

1/4 cup Splenda

1 scoop Vanilla Praline Designer

Whey protein powder see * Note

Preparation

* Note: It's best to use the "scoop" that comes with the package, but in case it's lost (or you use another brand), this is approximately 1/3 of a cup.

Melt peanut butter and butter in microwave or double boiler. Mix in the sweeteners thoroughly. Add protein powder and stir until it forms a ball. (You may need to use clean hands to aid in the thorough mixing.)

Roll up in ball and knead a bit; then separate into even portions, shaping as desired. Refrigerate until firm.

This recipe yields 4 bars; approximately 2 carb grams per bar.
