Larabar Copycat (Raw Food)

This is a great basic recipe. Like it says, the variations are endless. I reduced it down to 1/3 cup dates and 1 cup cashews/almonds/dried cherries/dried apricots because I want to try out some different flavor combinations before I commit to a whole batch of something. It's very easy to do and they came out tasty. A very healthy treat.

made up a batch w/ OJ soaked dates, and a mix of cashew, flax, sunflower, and sesame (whole,chopped and ground mixes for different textures) added a pinch of cinnamon and sea salt...rolled and press in parchment paper and cut into 9 bars...<b>wonderful</b>, love the possibilities!! -thanks :)

Hello I am Roza and I have read and article about raw food and it helped me so thought of sharing do read its interesting https://bestwaysto.net/boost-health-and-immune-system-with-raw-foods-how-to/

A simple energy bar to whip up in the food processor. I actually used a slightly different method - I first pulsed the cashews in the food processor so they were finely chopped. Then I added the dates (which I had soaked in some hot water then drained) and blended with the nuts until it became a ball.

I found these very easy to make. Very tasty. I did make two batches. My husband use to love the payday bars when he was little so on the second batch, I added 1/8 of tsp. of Himalayan Sea Salt to the recipe and then spritz sprinkle some on top too. I also rolled them into round balls and then smashed them into thin flat pieces ( about the size of a 50 cent piece). My husband loved them. We call them Gold Coins ! (since they copy the payday bar somewhat.)
