Needto's protein bars

[automaticj5]

Hey guys -- first time I made these they fell apart on me as I tried cutting them... any ideas on how I can do it better the next time around so I can cut them and bag em to go?

Thanks

you made them to dry...


It takes a lil tweaking to get it right

 

[automaticj5]

so more water? haah

 

[SpyWizard]

just a little..

problem is even the amount of water in honey (yes honey has water in it) can make a difference..

just adding a little more water and going from there..

be warned you can add too much and you'll end up eating it more like a really thick peanut butter.. that was good too though..

want to really make it good?? i prefer almound butter to the peanut butter.. but i do love the omega's i get from the smart balance..

When i make mine, I use crunchy peanut butter. It adds a little something extra, I think.

Slowly add alittle extra water and they will turn out great. I am down to my last bag, time to order more.

Also make sure you mix everything real good for a few minutes, and when you put the mix in the pan or whatever put nice pressure on it with your hands; that way they get a more solid structure.

Sounds good -- you guys all mix by hand right?

I mix mine with my hard on. But that's only so that the wife gets double the usual protein...

thats funny im always trying to give my wife the protein shake line. it usually doesnt work but its fun grosing her out.

Many different reasons why the are were too dry for you that others have encountered.
Next time just add a little bit of water into the mix before laying them out in the pan, and yes best way to mix and put into pan is by hand.
