Icemaggedon here in Nashville has me baking like I'm Betty Crocker (but really)! I am so excited about this recipe because I have a serious lack of groceries, but I really wanted to make some homemade protein bars. We clearly didn't prepare to be iced in... guess I'll be eating protein bars the rest of the day!
For this recipe I was able to improvise and use the ingredients I happened to have in the pantry. I honestly didn't expect these bars/ bites to turn out so good, but I'm not complaining! Happy Snow (Ice) Day!!
