I stumbled upon your recipes because we just got a Vitamix and I was looking for some healthy items to make…..wow!!! I’m in love with the oatmeal raisin and samoa creations you have recipes for. I found date paste that works really well if you don’t want to pit dates and they taste sooooo yummy! My husband is very into natural eating….and I am too, but I still have a sweet tooth and these bars are revolutionizing my snacking! I love that I can eat something that has actual nutritional value and tastes good (AND provides energy!). I’m going skiing next week and can’t wait to pack some of these for quick snacks on the slopes. Please keep the recipes coming!!!

Made these last night and again today…so addictive! I’m not vegan but I’m definitely a chocolate lover and I enjoy reading your blog. Of course my problem with this recipe is that I kept eating the cashews and barely had enough to make a 2nd batch! I’ll have to crack some of my pecans so I can make the German chocolate fudge bites. Thanks for sharing all your great recipes!

[...] I was on a trip this August with a group of friends, and on the car ride my friend Jen gave me a Peanut Butter Cookie Lara Bar. It absolutely rocked my world. It was so good, and I looked on the back of the label for ingredients and saw it only had three ingredients, dates, peanuts, and salt. I COULDN’T believe it. With only 3 ingredients, I thought I could attempt it. After the trip, I came home and googled “Homemade Lara Bars” and found Chocolate Covered Katie. [...]

Ok, I am completely addicted to these. I’m on a low carb diet till Christmas….3 days in. I came across this recipe. I made them last night. I can’t stop eating them. Yes, I know, not good. While they don’t have added sugar, the dates are full of natural sugar. However, I refuse to feel guilty. I just can’t believe how good these taste to me. As someone else said, the salt makes it perfect. I used walnuts and while walnuts make my mouth hurt if I eat them plain, no pain in this mixture! Thanks for your blog. I think you have a pretty unique corner on the recipe market. I love all the vegan, raw, and gluten free stuff. Anyway, you made these next 26 days bearable.

Awwwww!!!! Candace, you made my day . I usually put mine in the fridge or freezer after a couple of days, but I think a week should be perfectly fine to leave them out. After all, they’re just nuts and dried fruit, both of which can stay out (unfridged) on their own.

Hi, Katie! I made some of these and they are incredible! Question: I made a weeks worth of bars at once, but wanted to know the best way to store them (refrigerated or not), or does it matter. Is a week too long?

P.S. Your blog is my new favorite website. I’m addicted and plan on trying LOTS more of your recipes.

[...] processor, I just had to try it out so I made some mini Larabars of the cashew cookie variety from Katie’s recipe. Gooey, chewy, and delicious, I can’t wait to start experimenting with different flavors. [...]
