    I like protein bars. Sure, they aren't Snickers but they satisfy my sweet tooth just fine! I like the Balance bars (Cookie Dough flavor). It has 210 cals and 15g of protein. Though I'd like to find a more natural protein bar with fewer cals, but it's hard to find one with a decent amount of protein (higher than 10 grams).

    I really like the Special K ones, the chocolate peanut butter and double chocolate. They have 10 grams of protein and taste excellent.

    Yes! I love the Pure Protein bars. The peanut butter is the best, but the chocolate one is pretty good too. They have 200 calories, 6g fat, 200mg sodium, 1g fiber, 2g sugar, 20g protein. This is the best one I could find. Not too much sugar and a lot of protein. I eat one right after my workout, usually it's my breakfast. Love it!!! It satisfies my sweet tooth also!

    Similar situation here and I bought 3 brands to try: Clif, Luna, and Lara. Luna won due to tasting more like a regular granola / candy bar. My favorite Luna flavor was the chocolate coconut with cranberry second. I've found mini sized Luna bars at some Target stores.

    I like the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut bar by CLIF. Yum! They also make something called Mojo bars. Which are like trail mix in a bar in wonderful flavors!

    My favorite protein bar is Zone Perfect chocolate chip cookie dough.. They are sort of small though, but they do the trick for me when I'm craving something, or just need some protein before I exercise.

    THIS!!! I also found some new flavors like Strawberry Shortcake, Marshmallow Peanut Butter and Caramel Peanut Butter. Like you said these are the best I could find as well.

    I like the Snickers brand, but they do have quite a bit of sugar.

    I got these from the recipe section and I like them the best

    Protein Powder ~ 400 grams (14oz.)
    Rolled Oats ~ 200 grams (7oz.)
    100% Peanut Butter ~ 100 grams (3oz.)
    Honey ~ 90 grams (3oz.)
    Cocoa Powder ~ 30 grams (1 oz.)
    1 Cup Non Fat Milk
    Flax Seed

    Notes: I use dark chocolate cocoa powder. I was able to make 10 bars. Btw I got this recipe from scoobysworkshop.com. You can go on there to watch the video. These bars taste awsome!

    Mix protein powder, rolled oats, cocoa powder, pb and honey together. Add milk, shape into a "twinkie shape" bout 3.5" long.
    Use flax seed as coating. Lay a sheet of wax paper down, layer with flax seed and roll bars on it to completly cover them.
    Chill for 30 to 60 minutes. Last up to 7 days refrigerated and lasts for months in the freezer.

    260 calories
    15 calories from fat
    35 grams of protein
    21 grams of carbs
