I always tend to use the same tin when I bake a traybake such as a brownie, blondie or cookie bar, because I find it creates the perfect depth of bake, and it bakes perfectly every time. Each half size Smart Bar delivers 10g of quality protein and 1.3g sugar (depending on flavour). In addition to this, Smart Bar™ is completely palm oil-free. Which flavours are included in the PhD Smart Bar Half Size box? Across the full range of flavours, the macros are pretty good. The protein content is approximately 20g per 64g bar. Some flavours have a slightly higher protein content, for example, the birthday cake flavour contains 21g. This is similar to the amount of protein found in a whey protein shake. I know one of the scariest things about baking some traybakes is that ‘they never bake right’… when it’s actually much easier than you think. There are a few tips that really save me every time! Cool the blondies completely in their tin, and then put them in the fridge overnight. This is BY FAR the best way to get a fudgey blondie delicious texture of heaven.

These blondies can be used as a base for other recipes on my blog, but I do still utterly adore my other blondie recipes. Neither is better than the other in my opinion! You can use these for example topped with my millionaires blondies ingredients, or even follow the idea of my biscoff blondies. Following that is a softer layer containing different flavours such as the birthday cake flavouring or caramel. On most bars, the outside contains a crunchy layer which adds to the texture and improves the experience.

Looking for macro-friendly indulgence?

You can use basically any white chocolate you like, but generally, because you end up having to use quite alot I would save any brands as the chocolate chip part, and melt down the cooking or supermarket own for the base chocolate. So, a very long time ago I had a caramel white chocolate blondie recipe on my blog. It was something that I liked to bake, but it was probably the worst recipe on my blog, ever. I can comfortably say that, as more often than not, it didn’t work for other people. PhD do all we can to make sure the information about our products is as accurate as possible. However, because products are regularly improved, the product information, ingredients, nutritional information and dietary/allergy advice may occasionally change. ALLERGY INFORMATION for Caramel Crunch & Choc Peanut Butter: For allergens, including cereals containing gluten, see ingredients in bold. May also contain nuts, eggs and peanuts. If your blondies are in the oven for far longer than the time says (you may have over mixed or your oven was the wrong temperature) then it may still go a little crazy, but I found it perfect.

Couverture Milk Chocolate contains: Cocoa solids 35% minimum, Milk solids 21% minimum. These beauties were born from all of the experimentation. One thing I will say though… they are different to my other blondies such as my white chocolate & raspberry blondies, and my white chocolate & pistachio blondies. This isn’t because I dislike my other blondies, I love them, I just found this mixture works much better with the caramel because otherwise it’ll just vanish to the bottom. Some people will be pedantic and say ‘they’re still brownies’ but they are in fact very delicious and sweet blondies. That are incredible, and something not to be messed with! Yum.

These are often not favoured in protein supplements. Verdict
