Before getting down the details of this delicious and healthy energy bar recipe, I want to take this opportunity to share with you something exciting....Many of you have heard of the Fairy Hobmother from the Appliances Online who has been visiting blogs, granting wishes and spreading joy!
A little while ago, I left a comment and a wish on The Peach Kitchen, who had just been visited by the Fairy Hobmother. And to my pleasant surprise, the Fairy knocked on my door and gifted me an Amazon gift card, so I can treat myself something nice.
Want to be the next LUCKY one? Just make a wish with your *heart* and leave a comment under this post......I am sure the Fairy is listening...Good Luck and thank you again, Fairy Hobmother!

ReplyDeleteFirst congrats on your visit from the Fairy Hobmother! I wish the Fairy Hobmother would visit Florida! Would love to make these bars, they look beautiful, I love the texture. I'm not sure if I've had bergamot, so I think I need to try it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Angie! Your cranberry bars look delicious!! gloria
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your gift! The Fairy Hobmother visited me this past summer so I wish not to be too greedy :)
ReplyDeleteYour bars look so delicious, Angie! The cranberries and almond meal are favorites but I have to admit I'm not familiar with the flavor of Bergamot.
I know it says healthy energy bar, but it looks to me like a delicious treat! Oh, and congratulations on a visit from The Fairy Hobmother! What a nice surprise that must have been. :-)
ReplyDeletecongrats on your visit he he fun
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! What a fun visit that was for you! Visit me please!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win - spend it wisely! The energy bars look very tempting, by the way.
ReplyDeleteYour recipes are soo unusual and fresh; I like the look of your bars!
ReplyDeleteYour almond bars are deliciously satisfying snacks! And yay for the Fairy Hobmother - I had my wish granted awhile back too.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to get a visit from the Fairy Hobmother! I would love a visit from her- I'd really love a new bowl for my Kitchen-Aid and some new cookie cutters. :) Those bars look so good- I can almost taste those tart cranberries in these wonderful almond bars. They'd be perfect for breakfast or an after school snack!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea! ....thank you for the wish (whether it comes true or not - wishing is good!) This recipe is GREAT, BTW. I love the flavor combination you have...I'm crazy for cranberries!
ReplyDeleteThese cranberry bars are off the chain! I would love for the Fairy Hobmother to pay me a visit so that I could make something yummy for my Lifelong Wellness students. They would love to have a treat.
ReplyDeletewow does this ever sound delcious
ReplyDeleteAmazing and beautiful recipe, love it! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters

ReplyDeleteI wish for a visit :) Those bars would be such a great, healthy snack for the kids. I pinned this one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and tempting...
ReplyDeleteDear Fairy HobMother,
ReplyDeleteI am sure you wanted to escape the Autumn chill in the Northern Hemisphere, so I am inviting you to the warm sunny spring DownUnder... ;P
Full of goodness... excellent for lunch box :D
Congrats Angie, those bars looks fabulous..
ReplyDeleteOh congrats Angie! I've never heard of the Fairy Hobmother before, but she sounds exciting! A gift card would be pretty awesome =)
ReplyDeleteFairies do exist. Awesome "As for butter versus margarine, I trust cows more than chemists"
ReplyDeleteI learned a lot today from you and I didn't even try the almond bars! I saw a new quote that I'm sure I'll be repeating, I never heard of bergamot before and I now know there's a real Fairy Hobmother! And I haven't even had my first full cup of coffee! It's going to be a great day! I *heart* the Fairy Hobmother and I wish for new baking pans that I promise not to abuse!
ReplyDeleteI love the colour of this bar. I doubt we ever can find Bergamot herb in Singapore though. So me drooling visually on yours now.
ReplyDeleteFirst time visiting your blog, and I'm impressed! This recipe looks like something I have for morning break every day, I'll have to try making it myself now! :)
ReplyDeleteThe colour bar looks so tempting! I have never eat bergamot before but using them in the essence oil, the fragrant of it is very distinctive.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great healthy bar. I wish for a GC to buy something for my grandson who is going to be born any minute now.
ReplyDeleteI love a good healthy bar! These look really really great.
ReplyDeleteDelicious looking energy bars! How fun to get a visit from the Fairy Hobmother!
ReplyDeleteThis almond bars look great. Are you using fresh mint?
ReplyDelete@Anncoo Yes, both herbs are fresh.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!! I am wishing on a hob, for the Fairy Hobmother to visit me. ; )
ReplyDeleteYour energy bars looks delightful!
What a delicious and healthy looking snack, Angie. And congratulations on the gift from the Fairy Hobmother. You are very fortunate, indeed. I wouldn't even know what to wish for...I am very fortunate to have everything I need! But then again...
ReplyDeleteThat,looks great.
ReplyDeleteHmmm hubby works out alot. I bet these would be way better than those nasty things we buy at the store. Saved.
ReplyDeleteMy friend at Veronicas Cornicopia won herself a blender from The Fairy Hobmother. :)
Hmmm i have so many things i need... where would i start? Ok, simple. A nice measuring cup set with a ring, so my 2 year old doesn't run off with one at a time....it's really frustrating when i reach for one and it's gone.
The almond bars look phenomenal. I love it. And I am also loving the Fairy Hobmother. The fairy can visit me any time. At the moment, I'd love a kitchen aid mixer :)
ReplyDeleteAlmond and mint in a dessert -- now that's original!
ReplyDeleteOh, I can imagine a fairy just like Tinkerbell, flying around these bergamot and mint almond bars and granting wishes!
ReplyDeleteQue rico! I've never been able to find bergamot... would orange work?
ReplyDeleteGENIAL RECETA ANGIE ME ENCANTA,LUCE BELLA BELLA,ABRAZOS.
ReplyDelete@Tiffany
ReplyDeleteI used bergamot herb, not bergamot orange. If you can't find bergamot, just use mint instead. Bergamot and mint look very similar, but bergamot smells like lemon to you.
This is my very first time in here. But first, I want to congratulate you and also I want to express my happiness because this is seriously one of the best blogs I've seen so far. Not your typical food blog.
ReplyDeleteYou do come up with some fab recipes - these sound particularly delicious with the walnut oil and herbs. they look really pretty too.
ReplyDeleteI feel energized just looking at these! They make me want to get in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to make a healthy and delicious bar like this! Bergamot and mint are really beautiful additions, Angie. And yay, congrats on your visit by the Fairy Hobmother!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Angie, for being visited by the Fairy Hobmother. This looks like a delicious bar recipe and will make a great lunchbox treat for the kiddos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully and healthy looking bar! You are lucky to have been visited by the Fairy Hobmother! Wishes do come true! I have a long wish list...lol Maybe some muffin pans or an ice cream maker:)
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous almond bar! I think I can never stop at just one or two. Looks really addictive!
ReplyDeleteI wish for the Fairy Hobmother to stop by my place! Have a nice day!
What a power-packed and wholemeal bar!! Look delicious too! Congrats on the visit! I wish I could be a lucky one on the Fairy's visiting list too!
ReplyDeleteYay for you Angie! I am so happy for you! Your bars look fabulous and so healthy. I wish for the Fairy Hobmother to come by Sweetandcrumby! Would LOVE it! ---Geni
ReplyDeleteGeni referred me to your site for your bar recipe..... I'm always on the look out for bars that are tasty, nutritious and especially some that will hold together when sliced..... for taking along on an 18 hole round of golf. Much as people think golf is a relaxing sport...it isn't. there is no time to stop to eat after the first 9 and by then over 2 hours has passed....sooooo bars are the perfect snack...along with a banana usually.... to keep us some strength and interest in the next 9 holes....
ReplyDeletethanks for this to try....
Veronica
Bergamot and mint?! I bow to thee... :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the gift card Angie, how exciting! These bars sound great. I love the combo of flavors. Hope you have a great rest of the day. :)
ReplyDeletePrinting the recipe right now and as soon as I am done I am going to make a whish.
ReplyDeleteScrumptious recipe! Great shots too.
ReplyDeleteHappy for your visit from the wondrous Fairy Hobmother, who surprised me with a visit earlier this summer! And what a nice pairing, with this beautiful energy bar. Innovative touch with the bergamot! Thanks, Angie.
ReplyDeleteThese sound and look amazing - and with bergamot!
ReplyDeleteThis will make for a great guilt free snack to munch on anytime :)

ReplyDeleteoh those look so good and nutrious also.
ReplyDeleteoh miss fairy hobmother i so desperately need mixing bowls or a mixer or measuring cups. though i do realize that it those are small to compared to what others need but still a new ones would be nice as the former versions are old, broken or lost.

ReplyDeleteThese look so yummy! Did you use dried cranberries or fresh? Recipe doesn't specify, so I assume fresh, but photo looks like dried. Thanks! I would really like to make these and stumbled across this site through pinterst!
ReplyDelete@jennifer899396Fresh one is not very common over here. You might see them during the X'mas season, but they are usually ridiculously pricy. So, yes, I used dried one.
