do you ever eat these?
i love them.
they have saved me many times
{twice, this week alone}
when i have nearly crashed from hunger.
have you ever looked at their ingredient list?
it is impressive:
that's right: cashews. dates. period.
so, i started thinking...
"how 'bout if i just buy cashews & dates?"
the only real obstacle for me
is that whole dates look like...
well, cockroaches.
{thankfully, they don't taste anything like cockroaches}
i coarsely chop the dates.
the raw cashews are in pieces.
eating them together,
they taste exactly like the bars.
price comparison:
bars = about $10.00/lb.
bulk cashews & dates = about $3.50/lb.
it's my new favorite snack.

Catie,
ReplyDeleteI love the cherry pie Larabars. You are so right.....they are $$$.
I love dates, but I can't eat them whole. Must have them chopped up.
Never thought about the roach resemblance. Too funny!
You are too funny Catie...exactly what I think when I eat dates. lol
ReplyDeleteI will have to try the bars...I also buy the TJ cashews (handul of cashews bags) keeps me from eating too many. :)
Love cashews and love dates. Never put the two together. Bet they woud make a great scone! :)
ReplyDeletetoo funny!! i love dates too and always have the yellow can in my pantry for a quick snack, but I ALWAYS do a double take before I put one in my mouth for the very reason you mentioned.......
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy! Must try...
