Recipe: Protein Bars (low carb)

PROTEIN BARS 

1 square unsweetened baker's chocolate 
2 Tbsp. butter 
2 Tbsp. heavy cream 
3 pkts Equal (I used Splenda) 
3 scoops (1 cup) Chocolate Designer Protein (or any other chocolate whey protein) 
1 cup chopped peanuts (I used 1 1/4 cup chopped pecans) 
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut (hence the above!) 
2 Tbsp. Sugar Free Torani Syrup or maple syrup (or water, in a pinch...) - I used the maple syrup, as that, our market had! 

Melt choc and butter in microwave 1 minute; stir until completely melted. 

Add Equal and heavy cream and stir until creamy. Add protein powder, peanuts, coconut and stir till mixed pretty well, add syrup (or water), and mix thoroughly (you may have to knead with your hands at this point, as mixture will be very stiff). 

Line a bread loaf pan with plastic wrap and press in mixture firmly and evenly. Chill till firm. 

Cut into 6 bars. These were huge, so I made it into 9 bars. 
Approx 5 carbs/15 grams protein per 1/6 recipe.
