I have been wanting to try these for a while now, and I decided they would be a perfect for gifts!  I didn’t really have a plan when I started but I gathered lots of yummy materials.  They included:

• dried mission figs
• California dates
• almonds
• peanuts
• nothing but banana (dried banana from Trader Joes)
• fresh banana
• unsweetened coconut
• dried berry mix (cranberries, cherries, blueberries)

I followed a few ideas that I had read about and otherwise I just started blending things up!  They turned out tasting really good and looking pretty similar to the real thing. I can’t wait to try more combinations!

I formed them into balls to see if they would stay.  Then I made them into bars and kept them in the fridge.  I need to work on their presentation!
