Alright so since this recipe, we have already made this 4 times…. SO needless to say, this is a MUST MAKE, NO BAKE! Love the rhyming of that right? hahah. Don’t get me wrong, I love to just grab ones at the stores, however, a lot of times they can be full of added sugar, gunk, and/or ingredients that are not the healthiest that really aren’t needed to make a delicious nutritious bar. I also really prefer making my own, especially after seeing the gunk that can be in children snack bars. These trail bars have 10 ingredients vs. leading brands like below: YIKES.
