PEGGY'S FRUIT N' NUT BARS
An easy and healthy alternative to store bought snack bars. Change up the variety of dried fruits for variety. We like to use a mixture of dried cherries, cranberries, blueberries, apricots, peaches, apples and mango. We like the Porridge Oats from Rogers that has oat bran, wheat bran and flaxseed in it.
