I thought these were very close to the ones from the e-bar. I added 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 1/2 cup of coconut and was very pleased.

Nordy Bars Decadence everyone Enjoys! Years ago I would treat myself to the Nordstrom "Nordy" bars. There was nothing else like them. I made this recipe yesterday, I thought they were a good duplicate. Wow are they ever rich. My husband said, Don't change a thing on this recipe it is fantastic! Make sure to cut them in very small pieces because of their richness. We omitted the nuts for the kids and it was still pure decadence.

These are the sweetest and most delicious bars! I don't have a Nordstrom's very close to me...so these will do when I can't get there for a Nordy Bar. Thanks. BTW, they freeze very well.
