¼ cup almond meal flour
1 Tbsp. PB2 or peanut flour

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine all brownie ingredients except Quest Bar and blend until smooth. Place in fridge for 30 minutes.
- Cut Quest Bar into 4 even pieces. Remove batter from fridge.
- Wet your hands slightly. Take about 3 tablespoons of brownie batter and wrap it around 1 piece of Quest Bar, ensuring it covers the Quest Bar completely. Repeat with other 3 pieces.
- Place covered Quest Bar pieces on baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes.
- Let cool while you prepare icing.
- In a small bowl, mix all icing ingredients together until smooth. This mixture will be thick.
