Costco Finds - Larabar
/Larabar is a real food treat that is portable and comes in a wrapper so the kids love them. It passes all my real food tests because there are no funky ingredients - usually just dates, tree nuts and spices (depending on the flavor). They are perfect for lunches, throwing in your bag for a quick snack. You can find them in most grocery stores and they range in price between $1.00 - $1.50 per bar. I think you all know I am pretty thrifty so I make our Larabars using this recipe.
That was until recently. Costco has carried Larabars for a while but I have chosen not buy them because the box contained a flavor with peanuts and we choose not to eat peanuts. The current box has 2 flavors - Apple Pie (Dates, Almonds, apples, walnuts, raisins and cinnamon) and Cashew Cookie (Dates and cashews). These are 2 flavors my family enjoys and they are only $.83/bar. Win/Win in my book. They are still a special treat but it is great to have another pre-packaged option in the cupboard.
