These Collagen & Protein Oh Henry Chocolate Bars are a delicious, healthy twist on the classic candy bar. Packed with collagen peptides and vanilla MCT powder, this recipe combines natural peanut butter, nuts, and sugar-free chocolate to create a satisfying, protein-rich treat. Perfect for a post-workout snack or a guilt-free indulgence, these bars are easy to make and freezer-friendly.

Ingredients

Nougat Filling

  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
  • 2 tbsp sugar free maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 scoop collagen peptides (omit if vegan, may need to add extra tbsp of gluten-free flour if batter is too sticky)
  • 1 scoop vanilla MCT powder
  • 2-4 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 handful lightly salted dry roasted peanuts (or high fibre nuts of choice, about ¼ cup)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup sugar free chocolate chips (if vegan, use dairy-free chocolate chips)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil (or coconut oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the nougat filling: In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, sugar-free maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, avocado oil, collagen peptides, vanilla MCT powder, and coconut flour until well combined and forming a moldable batter.
  2. Chill the batter: Place the batter in the freezer for 5-10 minutes until it firms up enough to mold. If the batter is too sticky, add more coconut flour a tablespoon at a time. If too dry, add more sugar-free maple syrup to achieve a moldable consistency.
  3. Mold the bars: Shape the batter into mini chocolate bars using your hands. Press the lightly salted dry roasted peanuts firmly into the top of each bar to create a peanut layer.
  4. Freeze the bars: Place the molded bars in the freezer for 30 minutes or until they are firm and hold their shape well.
  5. Melt the chocolate coating: In 30-second intervals, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips with the avocado or coconut oil in the microwave or on the stovetop, stirring thoroughly until smooth and fully melted.
  6. Coat the bars in chocolate: Using a fork to reduce mess, dip each frozen bar into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Place the coated bars onto a dish lined with wax or parchment paper.
  7. Set the chocolate: Return the coated bars to the freezer for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens and sets completely. Once set, your bars are ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • If you are vegan, omit the collagen peptides and use dairy-free chocolate chips; you may need to increase coconut flour to adjust batter consistency.
  • If the batter is too sticky to mold, gradually add more coconut flour to prevent difficulty shaping.
  • Freeze bars properly to ensure they hold their shape and the chocolate coating sets perfectly.
  • Use a fork while dipping to minimize chocolate mess and ensure even coating.
  • Store bars in the freezer for best texture and freshness.
