Story

When I can find bars to make that are a bit healthier than others, I usually give them a try. This is still a very yummy snack, but it does have some of the advantages of other healthy snacks. These bars are a nice treat anytime, but they are especially nice to have around the house for an afternoon snack, or an after school snack.
