Quest Cookies

Quest Bars and cookies!! Two of my favorite things! The best is when you combine them and make Quest Cookies!

How amazing do those look? There are so many possibilities and they are super easy! 

All you need is a Quest Bar of your choosing, and a chocolatey candy that will go with your flavor of bar.

How about Chocolate Peanut Butter bar with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups?

You could do a lot with one of my favorite bars...Chocolate Brownie!

It goes great with Andes Mints!

You could also go the more traditional route.  Everyone loves the classic Peanut Butter Thumbprint cookies!

You can use the Peanut Butter Supreme bar and some Hershey Kisses.  

Take your Quest Bar, unwrap it, and place it on a microwave safe plate. Don't use a napkin, paper towel, or paper plate.  It will stick!!

Warm it up for 8-10 seconds.  Just so it is soft enough to mold.  

Break the bar into three pieces and roll into balls.  

Flatten those balls and place them on a baking sheet.  I highly recommend using parchment paper or a baking mat.  Into the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes.  

As soon as they come out of the oven, press your candy into the center of the warm cookie.  

Let them cool for a few minutes.

That first bite is amazing!

I think if I had to choose, I would say the peanut butter cup cookies are my favorite!

But then again, why choose when you can have them all!!

Chocolate and mint go so good together!! Just like a Thin Mint cookie, but these are actually pretty good for you!

If you eat all three cookies, you are getting 20 grams of protein from the bar!

That gives me the perfect excuse to eat them all! I need my protein :)

If you did just want one, you could have this tasty little treat for only 98 calories. 

If you can stop after just one, you have a LOT of will power!!

Quest Creation - Creamy Coconut Cups

Quest Bars are amazing! They taste delicious and are actually good for you! Packed with protein, no added sugar, and only the best ingredients  The best part about them is that you can turn them into so many crazy and yummy treats! For example, some Creamy Coconut Cups!

Can you believe these were made from a Quest Bar?! True story!

So simple too! All you need is a Coconut Cashew Quest Bar, nonfat plain greek yogurt, shredded coconut, vanilla, and sweetener if you like. 

I used unsweetened coconut, but whatever you prefer is fine.  You could use any type of yogurt, but I prefer the thickness of greek.  

Unwrap that wonderful bar and microwave for 10 seconds.  

Make sure you use a microwave safe plate.  I recommend using parchment paper so it doesn't stick.  DON'T use a napkin or paper towel!

I am making two tasty treats, but you could also make this as one bigger dessert.  Coat whatever dishes you are using very generously with nonstick spray. Break the softened bar into two pieces and just mold it into the dish.  

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. 

Let them cool completely before trying to get them out of the baking dishes.  

I stuck mine in the freezer for a couple minutes and popped them out.  Just go around the edges slowly with a knife and they should come out pretty easily. 

While those are cooling you can mix up the filling.  Just add your yogurt, coconut, vanilla, and sweetener to a bowl and stir.

This stuff is great to eat just like this! It also makes a great dip for crackers and pretzels.  Try your best to not eat it all this time!

Once your cups are cooled, just plop a spoonful of the filling in each one. 

Make sure they are completely cooled so you don't melt the yogurt. 

 Take a little more of that shredded coconut and sprinkle it on top!

I just love coconut! The smell...the taste...

How amazing do those look?!

The best part is they are a "clean cheat" That means they taste like something that is not so good for you...but they really are good for you! Packed with protein from the bar and yogurt, sweet from the coconut and vanilla, and just simply delicious! 

 Seriously...

Just look at that bite!!

 The bar makes a perfect crunchy crust and the yogurt is cold and creamy.  

So go buy some Quest Bars, make these, and share the recipe with your family and friends!!

Quest Creation - Cookie Dough Pretzel Pops

I firmly believe that salty & sweet is the best flavor combo! I don't know what it is, but the two just taste amazing together! If you agree, you are going to love these Cookie Dough Pretzel Pops.

Oh yea, there is also a generous amount of chocolate in these! Sweet, salty, and chocolatey!!

These could not be easier to make.  You only need two ingredients and about five minutes.

Cookie Dough Quest Bar and pretzel rods are all you need! 

Unwrap the bar and do your best to not eat it right away!! Just admire the chunks for a minute...

Place bar on a microwave safe plate and warm up for about 10 seconds.  If you have parchment paper that is helpful, but do not try using a napkin or paper plate!

The bar will be soft enough to work with now.  Break the bar into pieces and just mold it around the pretzel rod.  

I like to leave the bottom of the pretzel uncovered so I can hold it like a lollipop.

Place your covered pretzels in the fridge for a couple minutes just to let the chocolate set up a bit.  If you are impatient like me, just stick them in the freezer for a minute.  

Or just eat them right away!!! That first bite is fantastic! The pretzel is crunchy and salty.  The Quest Bar is chewy and sweet.  And all those melted, swirly chocolate chunks...Perfection!

 These make a great snack or dessert! The best part is you can eat all three with no guilt! That's because these awesome bars are low sugar, high protein, and "junk" free! If you have been living under a rock and have not tried Quest Bars yet, you can order some here!

You can thank me later :)

Quest Creations - Teeny Tiny Cookies

We all know I LOVE protein bars! I eat at least one a day! So the big question is...What is my favorite protein bar? Easy!!

Quest Bars 

There are so many flavors and you can do so much with them! That's right, you don't just have to eat them out of the package.  I have decided to start a new little series called Quest Creations.  I will share quick and easy ways you can enjoy these amazing bars! 

The first way is probably my favorite way of eating Quest Bars.  

Teeny tiny cookies!! You get 15 itty bitty cookies from one bar! These are some of the tastiest and healthiest cookies you will ever eat!

Did I mention they are probably the easiest cookies you will ever make too!? You can make these cookies with any flavor Quest Bar so pick your favorite and let's get started.

I chose cookie dough this time because that just made the most sense...cookie dough...cookies...

Unwrap the bar and place it on a microwave safe plate.  I highly recommend using a piece of parchment too.  DO NOT use a napkin or paper towel! You will have a sticky mess!

Microwave for about 10 seconds.  Just enough to make the bar soft enough to mold. 

Break the bar up into 15 tiny pieces and roll into balls. 

Place on a cookie sheet with parchment and press the dough balls down a bit.  Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 5-6 minutes.  That's it!!

One of the best things about this recipe is that you don't have to wait long before you have amazing cookies! 

How awesome do those look?!

I bet you never thought you could eat 15 cookies for under 200 calories! Granted they are a bit small...

Just check out that chunk! Quest Bars are very well known for all the chunks!!

Of course you could just break the bar into 2 or 4 pieces and have "normal" sized cookies...but these are way more fun!

These cookies taste fantastic too! They are nice and crunchy and just melt in your mouth. Since they are made from a Quest Bar, absolutely no guilt! Talk about a delicious and healthy snack! 

These are perfect for on the go! I love taking these to work with me.  

I just have to be sneaky because if the kiddos see me eating cookies they will want some too!!  Sorry, these are all mine!

If you have never tried a Quest Bar you really really need to get on it! You can order some here.  I promise you won't be disappointed!  I have made these cookies with just about every flavor and they were all fantastic! Apple Pie and White Chocolate Raspberry were two of my favorites.

Once you have some bars, chose your favorite flavor and make yourself these teeny tiny cookies.
