Based on a recipe found here: http://chocolatechillimango.com/

1 tub of Chobani 0% Plain Greek Yoghurt (170gm)
150 gms of Whey Protein Isolate (I used Professional Whey, organic cacao)
250gms (1 Jar) of 100% Almond Spread
30gms of Chia Seeds
60grms of Almonds
50gms Medjool Dates
20gms of Coconut Butter
100gms of Dark Chocolate (I used Lindt 85%)

Blitz the almonds and 40gms of the chocolate in a blender until they are roughly chopped. Put aside in a bowl.

In the blender, add the chobani, dates and almond spread and blend until they are combined. Slowly add the whey until incorporated.

Melt the coconut butter, and add to the bowl with the chocolate and almonds, then add the chobani/almond spread/whey mix and kneed together with your hands.

Tip the mix out onto a strip of cling film. Fold the cling film over it and then shape it into a long roll... I made mine a long rectangle.

Put this in the fridge for 30mins or so.

Then take it out and cut into bars. Mine made 18 bars.

Melt the remaining chocolate and coat each bar.

They should keep for a week in the fridge.

I used the dates in these for sweetness, so you might like to adjust the number of dates if you like it more or less sweet.

    Do you make your own nut butter for yours? I found that all the jars I found at the supermarket are 250grms, so I wanted to adjust your recipe to use the whole jar.

    Yes, I do. Buying them is really expensive so I generally make my own. It's easy in the food processor. Much cheaper and faster to make them than getting in the car to go buy them LOL

    I used the ABC bars as the base for these. With 200gms of nut butter, and a dollop of chobani, I've adjusted to use the full jar of nut butter and the whole tub of chobani.

    Look yummy! But I hate converting grams into ounces, tablespoons, teaspoons. It never comes out.

    The measurements don't have to be exact with this one, as long as its not too liquid or too dry...

    I was just thinking, you could probably switch out the almond butter for peanut butter, if you were so inclined.
