Editors Review
These are great if you would like a healthy chocolate-craving type of snack. These granola bars are great for pre/post workout snacks. This is a base recipe that is full of nutrient rich ingredients but yet is not overly sweet. The result is a chewy, almost cake-like granola bar though not at all similar to any that you would find in the supermarket. This recipe is pretty flexible so don't hesitate to modify to suit your tastes.Chef
