This Triple Chocolate Gingerbread Protein Bars recipe is not for the faint of heart. It is a deep, rich, dark chocolate gingerbread bar for those who are not afraid of the darker side of chocolate. This holiday bar would be great paired with a cup of coffee and a cozy blanket… snuggled up with a great book by the fireplace.
