I used to buy granola fruit bars for my kids until I realized they where full of high fructose refined sugars, added flavorings and colors. I thought where is the fruit? Does one raisin define it as a fruit bar, not to mention the price. Well here is my version a healthy tasty and yummy bar so my kids and friends tell me. All this for a portion of the price.
