Larabars are awesome but kinda expensive, don’t you think? I tinkered in the kitchen tonight and came up with these “larabar-esque” creations. I can’t wait to try some more new flavors!

Almond Cookie
Makes 2-3 bars

• 1/4 cup dates
• 1/2 cup almonds
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• plastic wrap

Lay out three pieces of plastic wrap, each about the size of a half sheet of paper.
Combine all ingredients in food process and process for about 2 1/2 minutes.
Form the dough into bars and wrap each in a piece of plastic wrap. Store in the fridge – if they last that long

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie
Makes 2-3 bars

• 1/2 cup dates
• 1/4 cup cashews
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup rolled oats

Lay out three pieces of plastic wrap, each about the size of a half sheet of paper.
Combine all ingredients except the oats in the food processor. Process about 2 1/2 minutes.
Add in the oats and pulse 4-5 times.
Form the dough into bars and wrap each bar in a piece of plastic wrap. Store in the fridge.

• 1/4 cup dates
• 12 oz dark chocolate (I used Green and Black’s 85%)
• 4 tablespoons coconut
