Ok so the first ingredient might be surprising to those who are adverse to making things with beans....but these are delicious
I got the idea from www.proteinpow.com
Butterbean and coconut dark chocolate bars
![47c4aa08.jpg](http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh484/nicolapicola1984/47c4aa08.jpg)
Ingredients:
Small can of drained butter Beans (120g drained)
40g unflavoured or vanilla protein powder, I used plain (I had ran out but I would of used about 60g)
25g desiccated coconut
25g clear honey
15g virgin coconut oil
15g Dark chocolate ( I used 85%)
Blend everything in food processor except the oil and the chocolate.
My mix was a little too runny as I ran out of powder, making them again I would use about 50-60grams instead of 40.
Spread the mix into a flat container (Tupperware kind of thing, about 6"x 3"). If the mix were thicker then you could form bar shapes
Freeze then cut into bars. I cut mine into 4 pieces
Once frozen melt the oil and chocolate together and drizzle over the bars.
Refreeze then eat! (As you can see I ate one already)

I always like to point out that you should openly play around with the ingredients to your tastes and measurements. I find everything trial and error!0
