The actual download link comes up blank every single time and the Google Video conks out half way through. I am thinking it may be my connection since no one else is having problems and I am with both links. I was just checking to see first before I tried to fix it on this end.
yeah but adding smarties wouldn't really keep the carbs on the lower end of the scale.....

The bars are pretty good! I'm allergic to walnuts and possibly cashews (not something I really want to test), so I stuck with
2 cups almonds
+ 2 scoops (1/2 cup) vanilla whey
+ 2 scoops (1/2 cup ON vanilla casein)
+ 1 cup egg whites
I might have overbaked just a bit, as they are somewhat rubbery... but still pretty darn good. I'm gonna tweak around the recipe a bit but this is something I'll definitely add to the regular rotation!

I hope you guys enjoy these bars. Once you get the hang of the cooking time (no rubbery bars), then you can throw these things together in no time.
They're also very versatile, as Lost Dog has shown by already providing an alternative recipe.
And thanks for the kind words. I'm much more critical of myself, and I can tell that this was the first episode we shot, since I'm stumbling over my words and otherwise looking uncomfortable. I got more of the hang of it, though, so subsequent episodes should be much better.
Besides that, I can't believe how skinny I've become I knew I lost a lot of muscle after the broken ankle, but watching my sorry ass on these videos has given me a newfound resolve to lift heavy and eat like a horse.
Time for some experimentation. Last night, I picked up some other ingredients. Not sure how I'm going to incorporate them...
unsweetened, dried cherries
unsweetened, dried coconut flakes
raw cashews
raw pepitas
sesame seeds
golden flax seeds
cocoa powder
I'm going to head over to Trader Joe's for some almonds and walnuts (1/2 the price of Whole Foods).
Also, TJ's has bags of dried apple rings (not chips). I usually chop them and stir them into oatmeal, but I'm envisioning some cinnamon apple bars tonight!
made a batch w. ON cookies and cream. Tasted good and was easy to make--This was my first attempt at baking something.

Nice work and those bars look great! Some tricks of the trade: For easier editing next time spend more camera time on the food and less on the cook. That way if you mess up the audio is much easier to edit. Also, take some shots of the food in different stages along the way (when the cook is taking a break) and you can use that to help editing as well. Even the pros rarely get it right all the way through
Good show!! I am inspired to finally make some of these bars. I never seem to get around to it - but I know they have to be far better than the garbage ones in the stores.

Aw Dave! I was sure you were already making homemade protein bars out of all those nuts and berries you gather mixed together with some protein powder! I am so disappointed in you! :p
