Chocolate Protein Bar

Ingredients:

1 cup Old Fashioned oatmeal
1/2 cup shelled walnuts
1/2 cup shelled almonds
1 cup Chocolate whey protein powder
3 tablespoons hershey's dark chocolate powder
1/4  cup honey
7 oz. or 1 cup coconut oil(or combination of oils)

10 pieces of aluminum foil sized 1/2 roll X 6"
Freezer or ice pack, blender, bowl, heavy spatula, strainer

Blend oatmeal to powder and put in large mixing bowl.

Blend shelled walnuts and almonds to powder and put in bowl.

Add chocolate whey protein powder and hershey's dark chocolate
powder to bowl and mix ingredients thoroughly. Strain and/or
re-blend if need be.

Add coconut oil and mix in thoroughly with heavy spatula. Form
a pattie one inch thick with grooves 1/2 inch apart 1/2 inch
deep on top. Pour honey evenly over surface and mix in well.

Form milky way size and shape blobs of the muck with spatula and
knife or spoon and wipe onto aluminum square. Form to shape, wrap,
and put in freezer.

In 15 minutes they can be cut into smaller pieces (for neater
eating) after a 5 minute thaw, and then refrozen. Serve frozen to
reduce gooeyness.  The reason I chose coconut was that, though
highly saturated, it is very healthy since it removes other
saturated fat deposits from your system, while creating no
deposits of its own, or so rumor has it.  Almond oil might be
another choice, maybe with some peanut only peanut butter or
almond butter (like 1/8 cup). Too much peanut can overshadow the
chocolate and impair consistency.

Makes ten bars.
