These bars are also great because they are naturally gluten-free, Paleo, no-bake & so easy to make. I love that they are chewy, and their sweet & nutty flavor is so good!
✓ No preservatives
✓ No added sugar

Better than any store-bought granola bars, and it takes only 15 – 20 minutes to throw together.
Also, these healthy homemade granola bars can be customized according to your liking or what you have at hand. You can substitute the cranberries for other dried fruits like apricots or pineapple, or you can add some sunflower or flax seeds. Just keep the honey & dates mixture the same, it’s “the glue” that binds the bars together.

Disclosure: I received free cashews and almonds samples from Karmalize.Me for a product review. As always, opinions remain 100% my own.
Tastes very nice but for some reason they did not’set’ . I wonder if you have weights in grams.
