My style LÄRABAR - Additional Flavors

I originally posted a Cherry Pie flavor which was made with dried cranberries, but since then I have been playing around with different flavor combinations of the LÄRABAR.  We really like having these healthy snacks on hand.   We have even stopped purchasing other types of bars and gone to making these exclusively.  People have asked about altering the recipe, so I thought I would share some that we really like.

Follow the recipe for making these in the other post.  However, I have found that if you add a little of the nuts to the food processor when you are chopping the dates it helps.

Cashew Cookie:

1 cup cashews
1/2 cup dates

The other 2 recipes are just modifications of the orginal recipe I posted.  But, instead of dried cranberries....I use other dried fruit.  I really think that the cherry one is by far my favorite.

Very Cherry:

1 1/4 cup dates
1 cup dried cherries (they sell a generic one at Walmart, but the Sunsweet ones are much softer)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup almonds

I tried an apple pie version with fresh fruit, but they were entirely too sticky.  The dried fruit version turned out much better!!

Apple Pie:

1 1/4 cup dates
1/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup dried apples
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup almonds
