Recipes for healthy bars?

-I love trail mix bars, but ones that look very raw, only I find them a bit too sweet and would prefer to make my own. Anyone know any god recipes? I like the bars by the company KIND they are vegan gluten free and delicious but are also a bit pricey and would prefer to make my own at home so I know exactly what is in itThe ones I make are NOT gluten free! and are only as sweet as I wish them to be.



4 cups crushed graham crackers

4 cups original oat meal

1 cup each mixed dried fruit bits including raisins, dates, apples, apricots, cherries, craisins, etc as much as you want.

1 stick butter

2 cups all natural peanut butter either chunky or plain

up to 2 cups honey



Melt and blend butter, honey and peanut butter and stir into other ingredients. Press into buttered 11 x 15 baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes at 300F. Allow to cool and cut into squares. Melt dark chocolate bark over simmering water. Dip each 2 inch square into the chocolate and allow to drain on rack. Re-dip after it is cool. If it doesn't dry in 30 minutes add about 1/4 cup grated Paraffin to the chocolate and melt and blend then dip the bars again.



And you still don't know exactly what is in it as the fruits are commercially prepared so have sulfites and other additives in them.
