    Trouble getting hard

    edited January 1 in Recipes
    I've been trying to make no bake protein bars similar to other ones I've seen here but they always come out fairly soft

    Is there something I can mix in to help harden them up when they are in the fridge?

      Well, that's not why I clicked but I guess we have to talk protein bars instead.

      I don't know what recipe you are referring to but I made mine (protein balls - table spoon size) with oats, peanut butter and protein powder and they came out pretty hard after staying in the fridge for an hour or so.

      What are you adding to yours?

      I've made the ones I found on www.marksdailyapple.com and they were great... yes they're low carb, but really tasty and not too soft, still quite workable...

      youmay want to try to play with your protein bars to see if that hardens them

      pretty much the same, maybe I do need less liquid? It's pretty thick though

      how are you rubbing these out?

      Really the key is technique. Use long smooth strokes and work the bar to the end. That should solve your issue.
