Energy Bars
Posted in /Cooking/Snacks on Saturday, July 15, 2017
I got tired of paying $10 a box for energy bars so I decided to make my own. Later I priced how much it costs to make them from scratch, and I only ended up saving 50 cents. They're just as tasty and I can edit the recipe as I please, so in the end its worth it.
Makes 8 large bars or 16 small square-shaped bars
