Lara bar or Nakd bar anyone? If you are a fan of these as a handy healthy snack on the go, but like me, not to fond of the price then try this recipe below for a quick and easy home made version and much better value. There are endless variations possible to this recipe – any nuts or seeds of choice, any dried fruits. Just remember to chop them small so that you can cut the bars easily when they are set and make sure your mixture is quite wet. If you think it is a bit dry then melt another spoon or so of coconut oil and add to the mix. These would also be great covered with melted chocolate. Just remember not to eat them all on the same day !
