LeahBar: coffee goodness


If you have never had a Larabar I recommend trying one by making your own.  You may have seen these tasty treats at the store but like many people not bought them because of the price. They are not cheap - the regular cost is $1.65 for a 1.7oz bar - eeek. (You can find them cheaper sometimes, but not often.)  Larabars are amazing- they are great snacks made with super simple ingredients all of which you can actually pronounce! Dates, almonds and cherries are the three ingredients in one of my favorites, Cherry Pie.  I was blessed to come across a food processor that was in a friend's basement collecting dust. I "commandeered" it and now use no less than 3 times a week (Thanks to J and MVP!).  Once I had this fabulous piece of equipment, I thought "Why not make your own Larabars, Leah!??" Naturally, I began searching the fabulous internet for a little inspiration and got to experimenting!  Since last year, I have made a lot of "LeahBars" and perfected the process.  It is so satisfying making your own food. This is another great recipe to make with children- they love it, especially if you add chocolate chips.
