Recipe: Breakfast Chocolate Bar (no bake, using oats and dairy shake mix)

BREAKFAST CHOCOLATE BAR

1 tbsp peanut butter or tahini (stir the tahini very well before using it)
3/4 oz uncooked oatmeal
1 packet dairy shake mix (chocolate or vanilla)
3/4 oz raisins (try golden raisins with the vanilla shake mix - yum)
Hot water

Combine peanut butter and oatmeal in a small bowl, blending into a paste. Add the dairy shake packet and blend. Add hot water, tablespoon by tablespoon, until you get a smooth paste. Stir in the raisins. If you use tahini you might not need the water.

At this point you will have a substance that, if you used chocolate dairy shake, looks somewhat gross, but hang in there. Shape the paste into a log on wax paper or plastic wrap. (now it looks really gross! :) ) Wrap the log and freeze it.

TO SERVE:
It's best when it's been out of the freezer for about 5 minutes - fresh out of the freezer it's still just a tad too hard to get a good bite off of. This is not only a good on-the-go breakfast-in-the-car, but also a nice midnight snack or sweet treat. People who insist they don't drink milk (and I have a few, judging my by survey) usually can eat this.

Serves 1
The whole bar = 1 M, 1 Fr, 1 Fa, 1 P and 1 B.
