WHOLE GRAIN ENERGY BAR
A friend of mine gave me an energy bar from Harvest Bread Company. It tasted great, but it was also $2. I didn't want to pay that kind of money so I kept playing around with the ingredients until I came up with something similar.

Steps:
- Mix everything but the raisins and chocolate chips together. Use a food processor if you can because it makes it a lot easier.
- Then add in the chocolate chips and raisins.
- Form into bars and refrigerate for about an hour allowing them to harden.
- I suppose you could freeze them and eat as needed, but they never last that long around here.
- You can also increase the honey if you want something a little sweeter. I try to cut back on my sugar as much as I can in my food.
