Another Quest Bar recipe as I love their company! It is the only protein bar I will eat for the most part.
Not that I am a believer at all in substituting bars for real food. Meals should consist of real food 🙂 But these are a great snack or preworkout fuel! It is also something I love to keep in my car in case I get stuck in a situation where I have no food (Its actually saved me many times!)Did you know they came out with a new flavor?! Double Chocolate Chunk! Can I just let you know that it is AMAZING?
They shipped me a free box with an assortment of their flavors, and this new bar was one of them! I ate one just plain, but then I made THIS recipe with the other 🙂
What’s better than the combination of chocolate and peanut butter? After making my raw chocolate tartlets with yogurt inside, I knew I wanted to use this new flavored bar to mimic the recipe.
This recipe is so simple, but yet, so delicious.
Double Chocolate Chunk Tartlets with Peanut Butter Yogurt Filling
Makes 4 Tartlets
-1 Double Chocolate Chunk Quest Bar (order here ) You can also use any of their flavors to make the tartlet!
-1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
-1/4 cup Peanut Flour or 2 tbsp Peanut Butter (use the real stuff for a richer taste!)
-1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
-Honey or Stevia to sweeten to desired liking
Optional: Add 2 tbsps of AboutTime protein powder for an extra protein kick to the filling! (Use my promo code for a 25% discount off their products: “FFF1”)
Directions: Heat quest bar in microwave (after removing from wrapper) for only about 5 seconds. This will allow it to be rolled and formed into tartlets. Roll out thin and cut into 4 pieces. Press into mini muffins trays and shape into tartlet shape. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine greek yogurt and all other ingredients and stir. Fill tartlets with yogurt mixture (p.s., this yogurt mixture is amazing to eat on its own as well!). Consume and enjoy! Top with any type of chocolate or other ingredient you would like 🙂 And you can also freeze these for just about 10 minutes if you would like!
