CHEWY HONEY ALMOND ENERGY BARS

These ingredients are what I normally have on hand, but feel free to substitute or add other nuts, seeds or dried fruit such as dried cranberries, cherries, shredded coconut, toasted oats, etc. These are packed with protein (and calories), and are great for athletes, or anyone who needs a hit of energy! The bars are soft and chewy, but the more ingredients you add, the firmer the bars will be.
