DoubletheGarlic's Note:

I'm a big fan of Lärabars, esp. the "Ginger Snap". I think this copy-cat experiment has been a success! I went for taste vs. texture for the sake of my gummy one-year old (who is also a big fan of Lärabars!), so almond paste was substituted for minced almonds/pecans. Enjoy!
