Chocolate Pretzel Bites

Does it get any better than a sweet, salty, chocolatey snack?! How about a sweet, salty, chocolatey snack that also has 24 grams of protein!?

Done!

These could not be any easier to make.

You just need a Double Chocolate Chunk Quest Bar, waffle shaped pretzels, and chocolate chips.

*Experiment with all different Quest Bar flavors!*

Unwrap that tasty protein bar and microwave it for 10 seconds.  

Make sure you use a microwave safe plate or a piece of parchment.  Don't use a napkin or paper towel!!

Once your bar is nice and soft, cut it up into 10 pieces.  

You could make more or less bites.  I am making 10. 

Place 10 waffle pretzels on a baking sheet.

No need to use any spray or parchment paper.  The pretzels won't stick. 

Mold the Quest Bar pieces a bit to make them about the same size as the pretzels.  Place one piece on top of each pretzel.  

Bake at 350 for 5 minutes. 

Now, you could absolutely just eat them like this!! They are fantastic! The whole plate is only 260 calories!

Let's make them just a little bit better...How are we going to do that?!

With more chocolate of course!

Take whatever kind of chips you like (white, milk, dark, butterscotch, peanut butter...) and microwave them until they get all smooth and melty.  I do 10 seconds, stir, 10 seconds, stir...

 Drizzle that melted chocolate all over the pretzel bites.

When I say all over, I mean ALLLL over!

 Does it get any better?!

I love that these are the perfect size to just pop in your mouth! Flavor explosion!

You could share these delectable little treats...

But the whole plate is only 360 calories so I eat all 10 myself! You are also getting 11g fat, 53g carb, and 24 g protein.

If you are like me and already have a huge stash of Quest Bars, then go get busy making some

Chocolate Bread Pudding

I absolutely love when people message me and ask if I will give one of their favorite recipes a makeover!! I recently had someone ask if I would try making a chocolatey caramely bread pudding.  Sounded pretty tasty to me! I was up for the challenge.  I am extremely happy to say that it turned out amazing! Only took me one try too!

Goodness gracious!!

Ingredients are pretty simple...

Any type of bread, egg substitute, unsweetened applesauce, sugar free fat free butterscotch pudding mix, chocolate protein powder, vanilla, chocolate chips, and sweetener if desired.

You can use any brand of chocolate protein, but I cannot guarantee the results.  I highly recommend baking with MTS whey.

Cut the bread into cubes and set aside.

I consider this dish one serving, but you can easily double, triple, or even quadruple the recipe if you want to make a dish to share!

Mix everything else except the chocolate chips together in a separate bowl. 

Pour the mixture over the bread and gently stir until the bread is evenly coated.  Pour into a sprayed baking dish.  It can be a circle, oval, square, rectangle, or even pineapple shaped for all I care! 

Sprinkle as much or as little chocolate chips on top as you like!

Ready for the oven! 350 for about 25-30 minutes.  This one took 28 minutes.  Baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of your dish. 

I was so excited when I took it out of the oven! It looked and smelled amazing!

I hardly even waited for it to cool at all before I dug in! Heavenly!

Seriously! It is chocolatey, creamy, sweet, and so soft and gooey from the pudding.  Such a great chocolate dessert! The whole dish is only about 360 calories plus almost 30 grams of protein! Not too shabby!

I started to think of the other flavor combinations you could do just by changing the pudding and protein powder flavors! For example...

Vanilla pudding & cake batter protein

Cheesecake pudding & red velvet protein

Chocolate pudding & cookies and cream protein

White chocolate  pudding & peanut butter protein

Pistachio pudding & vanilla protein

Banana cream pudding & chocolate protein

I am pretty sure those are all the flavors of sugar free fat free pudding mix...but the flavor possibilities are endless! Not to mention trying peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, or even toffee chips!

I am definitely going to be trying white chocolate pudding with peanut butter protein and peanut butter chips very very soon!! Til then I will just enjoy this masterpiece :)

Go make it! Now!!
