Hi all --
I forget where I got the inspiration for this recipe, somewhere on the web. But I have changed it enough over time that I can post it now with my name -- also with my calorie/fat/carbs/protein calculations. First time I have tried to parse out the numbers like this, and if anyone notices anomalies please let me know.
I usually also add some peanuts to this recipe, but did not figure them into the calculations. There is a major default in this recipe: the bars are too damn good. So you'll want to ration yourself to two a day

Robert's P-nut/Choco Power Bars
1 1/2 jars of TJs no-sugar peanut butter (chunky or smooth -- TJ is the brand I use, but any brand is fine; no-sugar is the key)
3 bars butter
2 cups Designer Whey vanilla/praline protein powder
2 cups Designer Whey chocolate protein powder
1 cup Splenda
-- Warm p-nut and melt butter in mike, combine
-- Combine dry ingredients
-- Combine wet and dry ingredients & pout into two square, glass brownie trays
-- Refrigerate overnight, then cut into squares and store in plastic containers in freezer or refrige.

Peanut Butter -- Serving = 2 TBs = cl 180 - ft 15 - cb 6 - pr 8
There are 14 servings per jar, a jar and a half for the recipe, so multiply servings by 21.

Butter -- Serving = 1 TB = cl 100 - ft 11 - cb 0 - pr 0
There are eight TB to a stick, three sticks in the recipe, so multiply servings by 24.

Designer Whey - Serving = 1 scoop = cl 90 - ft 1.5 - cb 2 - pr 17.5
There are three scoops to a cup, four cups in the recipes, so multiply servings by 12.
Recipes totals = cl 1080 - ft 18 - cb 24 - pr 210
Splenda does not contribute significant amounts in any caregory
