1 Quest Chocolate Mint Chunk Protein Bar, chopped into small bits

     Mix all ingredients except Protein Bar bits, and pour into parchment lined 8X8 or 9X9 and bake at 325 for 35 minutes, making sure not to over bake as protein can easily dry out if over baked.  Remove and cool, remove parchment paper and place tooth picks half way up and slice horizontally just above the toothpicks.  Frost each half, stack, and top with Protein Bar bits, store left overs (if there are any) in the fridge.  Enjoy  :)
