Lucie's Bars!!!!

I sure am glad to have arrived at the weekend!!  I have had a crazy week :/

Without further ado, a bar review!!

~so it has been taken me way too long to get a review posted on Lucie's bars :(  But better late than never right?  Here are the first three that I have tried...

First off, a few general things that apply to all the bars:  The texture is very similar to a larabar, but with a bit more chewiness in my opinion.

"Peaches and Cream" 

Ingredients are: Dried peaches, raw cashews, Ghiradelli white chocolate chips, ginger, and nothing else!

I really loved the texture of this bar.  The dried peaches had a really chewy texture that I loved.  The ginger adds a nice bit of zest to it, but it isn't spicy.  It is more of a "hmmm... what is that?" kind of a thing ;)  And the white chocolate chips add to the effect by providing that nice creaminess... yum!

"Strawberry Shortcake"

Ingredients: Dried strawberries, cashews, vanilla extract, and nothing else!  This really does taste like a strawberry shortcake!  I can really taste the vanilla, and I had no Idea you could even buy dried strawberries!!  It really is great. 

"I Like it So What?"
(Sorry, but I can't find a pic or the ingredients of this one)  My favorite!  It sounds weird at first with the balsamic, but trust me it is a fantastic addition.  It brings out the sweetness of all the fruit and it doesn't taste "vinegary" at all.  I guess it adds some sort of a richness?  I can't put my finger on it but is my favorite of the bars I have tried :)  There isn't one predominant flavor so to speak, but all together it tastes fantastic!


Pistachios and Rainbows

 A bar inspired by Maya, how wonderful!  And it is!!  The ingredients are:  Dried cherries, pistachios, rainbow sprinkles, and nothing else! they all pair really well together.  You get the tart sweetness from the cherries and the wonderful pistachio flavor that I cannot describe :)  And the rainbow sprinkles make it look pretty, and they add a nice crunch! 



Don't you love this^^^!?!?!  Read it closely, not the nutrition (even though it is fabulous) but look at the inspiration and motivation on there!!  I love it!!

And to make it all better, all of the profits go to NEDA (National Eating Disorder Association)  to battle eating disorders!!  Talk about a snack with a conscience!   And what's better than buying from a person you know to support a cause with personal meaning to you?!

So check out her Etsy shop.  It looks like she is not selling right now, but you'll wanna be ready when she comes back!!
