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!

    You 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!

    I 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!

    My 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.

    I 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.

    Geni 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....

    thanks for this to try....

    @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.
