Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I was really sad when Larabars were withdrawn from sale here in the UK. Fortunately another company has jumped in to fill the gap. http://www.naturalbalancefoods.co.uk/store/new-products/default.aspx They make 4 larabar-type Nakd bars which are certainly very edible, although limited to only cashew cookie, pecan pie, gingerbread and cocoa orange flavours. I decided to have a go at making my own. As I had no orange extract or oranges, I decided to start out with a cocoa lemon version. These are truly yummy. Enjoy. Christie 1 cup cashew nuts 1 cup dates 1/2 cup filled almost to the top with sultanas (golden raisins) and then topped up with cocoa powder 1/2 tsp lemon extract juice of half a lemon Pulse the cashew nuts and dates in a food processor until finely chopped. Add remaining ingreddients and puse some more until mixture starts coming together. Then either take teaspoonfuls and roll into balls between your palms or press into a small baking tray and then cut into pieces or press into chocolate moulds.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 These sound just wonderful, Christie--Thank you! Sorry to hear about Larabars disappearing. That would make me very sad. I have a recipe (not my own) for a round candy that tastes very much like the cherry pie Larabar. If anyone wants it, just holler Peace, Mo christie_0131 wrote: > I was really sad when Larabars were withdrawn from sale here in the UK.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 It was a very sad day when I discovered that Larabars had disappeared from the shelves here. I have no idea why they were withdrawn unless it was over the peanut butter salmonella problems last year. Still, the good thing is that it forces us to be more inventive ourselves! I would love the cherry pie larabar-look-alike recipe please Mo. Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I love Larabars! Why were they withdrawn? Your substitute sounds great, will try it soon.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 This looks great, Christie - I've recently become addicted to Larabars, and lemon and cherry pie are my favorites! Although we can still get them in the states, I think they are kind of expensive. I want Mo's recipe, too!!!
