WHEAT GERM CHOCOLATE CHIP BARS
I wanted a quick and easy lunch box snack last week and my internet connection was down! Oh the humanity! What would I do witout zaar? Look in my cookbooks I guess :) This is modified from one in the "More With Less" cookbook. I used 5 medium egg whites because I have a lot of medium eggs. If you are using larger eggs, use 4 egg whites. Or you could use 2 whole eggs.
