homemade protein bars...recipe, and questions inside...

I started by buying some ONE-WAY bars but was told that they contain too much crap for what im looking to do (lose weight) i was told by quite a few people to either make my own, or find a decent meal replacement bar instead...so I found a recipe online for some homemade protein bars...

Now, i modified the recipe a little bit to include some PB for a little taste kicker...after making the recipe i forgot where i saw it, i just wrote it down :( so if i found it on here thanks!

The recipe goes as follows:

in a mixing bowl put:
3 cups oats
2 TB all natural peanut butter
1 package fat free, sugar free jello
8 scoops protein powder (i made mine with ON 100%)

add 2 cups skim milk into the bowl, and stir lightly until you've got a nice pasty mix (kind of looks like brownies when you mix em)

after you've got your paste, evenly spread the mix across a pre-greased (fat free PAM ;)) glass or tin baking dish..I used a glass 13x9 [probably should have used a slightly smaller pan). melt another 2 TB of peanut butter, and drizzle it evenly across the pan (be creative :D).

refrigerate overnight...[disclaimer] HaH, i havent tried one of these yet since they are still in the fridge...BUT the recipe said they taste very good without the PB, so im sure it tastes good with the PB also...

and now onto the important stuff...adjusting for the added peanut butter
if my calculations are correct...

if you cut 8 bars
-------------------------
values are PER bar
calories: 241
fat: 6
carbs: 31
protein: 30

*************************************************

if you cut 12 bars
-------------------------
values are PER bar
calories: 161
fat: 4
carbs: 21
protein: 20

Like I said, I havent tried it, but does it sound like a good tasting, worth while addition to my meal plan? $2 ea. for protein bars is way outta control...I calculated it cost me about $3 to make at home...

feedback pleeeeease :)
 
oo this looks sick not too hard either let me know how it tastes i might have to make some this weekend :P

also how long will these things be good for with the milk in them and all? I assume u stick them in the fridge and just take them out as u need? So maybe a week or so?
 
Recipe doesnt say, but i wouldnt let them go for more than a week...as far as the taste...they taste GREAT, i dont know if i should have let them sit longer or...but they were still a little sticky when i cut them a few minutes ago...i tried a baked version last night, but it didnt really come out as planned...i tried at 325 for about 10 minutes...just kinda tried the whole thing out...

they may not be the best snack on the go for me...well not today anyways, because they are a little moist...not really like a "bar" but, i will try another between work and the gym to see if maybe it was just not being refrigerated enough...

CLIFFNOTES:taste great, maybe didnt let them refrig. enough yet, will check again later, and will attempt more modifications to better the bar.
