Copycat Pecan Pie LaraBars

Our favorite flavor happens to be one of the more simple bars- Pecan Pie- which only has 3 ingredients in it, Pecans, Almonds & Dates.  I found a few recipes online and then ended up tweaking the proportions a bit and came up with this recipe.  Hopefully you’ll love it as much as we do.

Mine are a bit more crumbly and not as “wet” as a packaged bar but they taste delicious. I’m currently trying to persuade my sweet tooth that these will do for dessert. I might have to add some chocolate chips in them next time. 🙂 The recipe made 8 bars, I ended up cutting mine in squares because of the shape of my pan but I think they are still about equal size to a little smaller rectangle. When you do the math is much cheaper to make them, a bag of dates was about $3.25 at my grocery store. This recipe is made with a food processor, if you don’t have one, get one! I use mine all the time! It’s an older version of the one in my amazon link below. (affiliate link)
