Just like an Eatmore Chocolate Bar without the chocolate. Halved the recipe and also used my food processor - one ingredient at a time then mixed all together in large bowl.

Oh boy, this is so good!!! Tastes great and easy to put together! I used the food processor cause I couldn't find my meat grinder and it worked just fine. I halved this recipe and when I went to get out the figs, they were actually dates! What to do? So I substituted dried apricots. I think the figs would be even better! Thanks so much for this recipe!

Great for biking trips (and hiking trips too)!! Borrowed a meat grinder and it went much faster than my food processor! I halved the recipe, and it still made ALOT!! Takes time to make these but really worth it, they are very tasty!
