Caramel Frosted Coconut Chocolate Cookie Bars Recipe

Coconut and chocolate combine to form a tasty combination in a variety of cookies and cakes many of us love.

MTS Nutrition recently released their newest delicious protein powder, Coconut Chocolate Cookie. This flavor blends a creamy chocolate cookie taste with coconut and it smells as great as it tastes. Coconut Chocolate Cookie protein is also a great ingredient to cook with.

This recipe starts with an oat and coconut flour based cookie that is flavored with Coconut Chocolate Cookie protein powder. A fat-free cream cheese and caramel yogurt based frosting tops the cookie bar. Finally, toasted coconut and chopped chocolate chips provide the finishing touches to this treat.

This is an easy recipe anyone can make. Feel free to experiment with different nut butters, they provide a healthy source of fat and improve the texture of the cookie bar.
