Bariatric Energy Bars recipe

 I tried this recipe last night, and got a big thumbs-up from my kids! I used Splenda in my recipe. Very easy to make and very filling! I may try dipping the bottom of these in some dark chocolate next time, as they are very low in sugar and have a good amount of protein. Yummmmm!
