And remember, today starts the November Photo A Day Challenge. Get the cameras ready!
Lara Bars can be a little pricey per bar. The best price I have found is at our local Costco. They sell them for $16.69 for 18 bars, which works out to $0.93/bar. Not bad.
Not to suddenly change the subject (I am going somewhere with this), but I am a Pinterest addict (and can spend way too much valuable time on there).
I saw a pin for making your own Lara Bars and searched on different recipes for making your own. I pinned a bunch to my Paleo - Treats board and my Healthy Snacks board.
I wanted a really basic recipe to try, nothing fancy schmancy at first. I found the one. So I gave it a go.
First I placed all the ingredients in the bowl of my food processor: walnuts, raisins, and dates.
I then processed everything for about 30 seconds.
Then I continued processing for about 1-2 minutes.
I spread the mixture into an 8x8 pyrex dish covered with parchment paper. I initially used a knife,
but then covered my hand in a ziploc sandwich bag and flattened out the mixture.
I decided to cut them into smaller squares, then the typical Lara Bar rectangle.
They are SO good! And with only 3 ingredients. Next time I am going to experiment with other
things like coconut, hemp seeds, and chocolate chips.
Simple Homemade Lara Bars
1 cup walnuts
1 cup raisins
1 cup dates
Place the walnuts, raisins, and dates in the bowl of your food processor.
Process all the ingredients for 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl. Continue processing for another 1-2 minutes until a large clump (ball) is formed.
Place the ball onto a lined 8x8 dish. Spread the mixture with a knife, then use a sandwich bag or plastic wrap covered hand to flatten the mixture evenly in the pan.
Cover and chill for about an hour or overnight. Cut into squares or bars. Enjoy!

Although I am not eating any oats right now, I had to give these a taste test just to make sure that they meet the standards to feed my boys. :) Oh, were they ever good! I could have eaten more than one, but I only had the one. Willpower, I tell you! :)
These are all of the ingredients that I used in one shot.
The first step is to melt the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil in a pot.
Next add the oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and vanilla to the pot.
Then stir until all the ingredients are well blended and the chocolate is completely melted.
Spread into a prepared 9x13 pan. I lined the pan with parchment paper.
Boy, I love parchment paper! It really makes clean up so quick and easy.
Next, place the pan in the refrigerator to chill.
Once the pan is cooled and hardened, cut into bars and enjoy!
These can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Bars
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup coconut oil (you could also substitute butter)
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup shredded coconut
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a pot, melt the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.
Once the peanut butter mixture is melted together, remove the pot from the heat and add in the oats, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and vanilla. Stir everything together until well blended and the chocolate is completely melted.
Spread into a greased 9×13 pan, lined with parchment paper. Cover and cool in the fridge.
When the mixture has cooled and hardened, cut into bars and enjoy. The leftovers can then be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
