Caramel Cookie Dough Protein Bars
  1. Make the cookie dough base - simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well until a cookie dough texture forms. I like to use a food processor for easy blending, however you can really get in there with your hands as well, adding a dash more milk if needed. The dough should hold together without being dry, but shouldn't be sticky/wet. Press the dough into a parchment-lined loaf pan.

  2. Make the caramel filling - using the same bowl, combine the caramel ingredients, mixing until smooth. Pour it over the cookie dough layer, spreading it out evenly. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or so until the caramel layer is firm to touch.

  3. Melt the chocolate - in the same bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave, heating in 20 second increments, stirring well between each, until smooth. Alternatively, you can use the double-boiler method to melt it! Pour this over the caramel layer, spreading it out evenly. Place back in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours before removing them from the pan and cutting into slices or bars.

  4. Note: You can cut them into 12 smaller pieces, as they are indulgent! However, the protein I calculated (over 10g per piece) was based on 10 servings!
