NEW RECIPE!!! Honey Nut Bars!!

Honey Nut Bars (Gluten and Grain Free and Paleo)
 
I don't know about you, but I love a good bar to snack on or to have when I am out on the go and don't want to have to stop at a fast food joint for something unhealthy! Also I like kind bars but they have too many ingredients and too much sugar. So here is a my version of a Kind Bar which I like so much better and know exactly where the ingredients are coming from and where its been made and what its touched. Haha
 
They are delicious and like I said great to snack on or great to have when you are traveling or on the go.

  • ⅓ cup raw cacao nibs
