Knockoff LaraBar Success!

I finally did it, I made a version of our favorite snack food.

I have tried, and failed before, so I was not optimistic when I set out last week.

I did the same thing as before, chopping up slivered almonds, dates and a few pieces of chocolate in the food processor.

Then I added a smidge of honey and some water. This is where it gets not-so-fabulous to look at.

I realized I might have more success making mini-muffins rather than bars, so I scooped my mix into a mini muffin pan and popped it in the oven at 300 for 10 minutes to let it bake/dry out.

Success! Delicious, easy, and a nice small size for packing in my daughter's no waste lunches.

    thank you! My 11 year old daughter is vegan (by her choice) and Lara bars are one of her favorite store bought items, and they are so expensive!

    I've actually never had a Lara bar before. I saw them on super sale at the grocery store the other day, but didn't get them because I wasn't sure what they tasted like.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I love hearing what you have to say! Sometimes I'm busy chasing after the three kids who can walk, or feeding the baby, but I promise, at some point I'll get back to you and head over to your blog (if you have one) to leave you a comment too:)
