Lara bar recipes?

[extrafor6]

The blog Chocolate Covered Katie has some great vegan recipes. She has a recipe for German Chocolate Fudge Bites that are basically Lara Bar-balls. There are also a few other Lara Bar recipes on her site.
I also made the Deep Dish Cookie Pie (which is by no means "healthy" because of all the sugar, but it's much, much better than a real cookie pie) and it was really, really good.

I wanted to bring this thread up again to say that I am enjoying these bars so much! I've made them numerous times, even making up my own combination of flavors. I just recently made a batch of almond, dark chocolate, apricots and unsweetened coconut . The possibilities are endless

Thanks again! Enjoy!

Agree! These bars are so easy to make and super delish! Gotta watch the calorie intake on these, since the basic ingredients are so calorie-dense, but I'm enjoying these bars very much. As you said Natasha, ingredient possibilities for these bars is simply endless.

The recipe for my mixture is almost the same as the basic cherry/almond/date original:

1/3 cup almonds (whole)
1/4 cup dates (chopped)
1/4 cup combined mixed apricots & dark chocolate chopped
1-2 tbs unsweetened coconut (or to taste)
1/8 tsp cinnamon

Obviously you can add as much coconut, apricots or dark chocolate as you like keeping in mind the calorie content does increase. This is a rich bar probably coming it at 250-300cal, but it's perfect for a mid-afternoon snack, pre-workout snack or even a breakfast on the go. Combine it with a nice cup of coffee or tea .

Enjoy!

I just made the choc chip cookie dough bars and they really are good.

For me, though, their appearance is a bit difficult to get over...if you know what I mean. My DH was so kind as to bring this aspect of them to my attention and now I think of that whenever I look at them .. I know...grow UP!
