11606 Gluten-Free Almond Power Bars 105 minutes 15 minutes 16 bars Mon Feb 25 16:21:33 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 16:21:33 -0800 2008 American User http://www.chow.com/recipes/11606 Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:21:33 GMT These no bake, high-protein, high-fiber bars are based upon Melissa Diane Smith’s recipe for Amaretto Protein Bars in her book Going Against the Grain and are a cinch to make. The chocolate topping makes them seem a bit decadent (skip it if you must, they’ll still come out fine) –though dark chocolate, rich in anti-oxidants has now entered the echelon of power foods so I’ll keep it on mine.
