Larabars

[Guest guest]

I got this recipe from another group. I do love Larabars, and plan to try these

next weekend.

 

Lay two pieces of wax paper (or plastic wrap) on counter. Place fruit in food

processor and pulse until it has a paste-like texture. Transfer to a medium

bowl.  Add nuts to food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add nuts to

bowl with the fruit. Add all other ingredients. Use fingers to knead into a

paste.

Divide mixture in half. Place each half on wax paper or plastic wrap. Wrap paper

around mixture and form into a bar shape, wrapping tightly. Store in the

refrigerator

Here are a few different recipes I found:

* Very Cherry: 1/4 c. dates, 1/4 c. dried cherries or cranberries, 1/3 c. whole

pecans, almonds, or walnuts, 1/8 tsp. cinnamon

* Cashew Cookie Dough: 1/3 c. dates, 1/2 c. raw cashews

* Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: 1/3 c. dates, 1/2 c. raw cashews, 1/2 tsp.

vanilla extract, pinch of cinnamon, 1/2 oz. finely chopped semisweet chocolate

* Blueberry Bliss: 1/4 c. dried blueberries, 1/4 c. dates, 1/3 c. almonds, 1/2

tsp. finely grated lemon zest, 1 drop almond extract

 

Note: Make sure to use roughly chopped or whole dates, not pre-chopped for these

recipes per the websites suggestion.
