So as you can tell from a previous post, I love Larabars. They have simple ingredients and they are a wholesome snack which I love for my family. I tried to make them before as they are a little pricey if you want to eat them all of the time, however, the previous recipe just didn’t cut it. Then I came across this recipe on Pinterest. Everything about it is perfect…they are even creamer tasting than the real thing and they totally taste like dessert. I used ingredients from Trader Joe’s but you can use whatever brands you prefer. I do recommend using a peanut butter with out sugar or you take away some of the healthy benefits of this snack. The recipe below makes 3 bars. I usually double the recipe when I make them and I prefer when they are chilled but they can be stored at room temperature. I have made them as bars, cookie shapes or dough balls. You can change it up and make them as big or small as you would like. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup plus 3 Tablespoons raisins

- 2 Tablespoons dry roasted peanuts
- 1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Oh my…these look so good! I’m trying the Flat Belly Diet and I could actually have these – yay!!
I made a recipe almost like yours! I love it! I like to roll them into balls than freeze them. I pop them in my mouth when the peanut butter craving hits, which is all the time!!
LOVE this!! What a GREAT healthy alternative & just in time for Summer too 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
We will just love these bars, it is a great recipe! Hope you are having a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.

I make my own peanut butter first, by throwing unsalted, shelled peanuts in the blender. Then I make the recipe above. So yummy! Love them. 🙂
