LaraBar Inspiration

By Teeg

I love LaraBars. These little raw bars of deliciousness are my favorite go to snacks but boy are they expensive!! My favorite of the LaraBars is the peanut butter flavor and the ingredients are – peanuts, dried dates, tad bit of salt. THAT’S IT. So I decided to try making them at home. There are a ton of LaraBar recipes out there and seriously how difficult can it be?

So I bought dried pitted dates and unsalted peanuts and placed both ingredients on the counter. It occurred to me that these dried dates would not form little bars on its own. Well I didn’t have much time so I decided to be innovative and stuff the peanuts INSIDE the dates. It’s a perfect little snack to pack and take with you, tastes just like a LaraBar AND it costs 1/10th the price. Not bad right?? Try it yourself – I think you’re going to love it just as much as I did =)

Its a great idea! Homemade snacks are the best especially since you know what goes in it. Now if only I liked dates….. More for you =P

I've never had a Lara bar but am a big fan of dates with nuts! I like walnuts and Medjool dates best!!

You my dear are a genius – and I always find the simpler my food the better! Cause then I can spend more time in the enjoyment of it (rather than just spending time prepping it!).
