Great for biking trips (and hiking trips too)!! Borrowed a meat grinder and it went much faster than my food processor! I halved the recipe, and it still made ALOT!! Takes time to make these but really worth it, they are very tasty!

Oh boy, this is so good!!! Tastes great and easy to put together! I used the food processor cause I couldn't find my meat grinder and it worked just fine. I halved this recipe and when I went to get out the figs, they were actually dates! What to do? So I substituted dried apricots. I think the figs would be even better! Thanks so much for this recipe!

You are right - these do take a long time...but they are so worth it! I don't have a meat grinder, so I, too, used my food processor to grind ingredients one at a time and combine later. Next time, though, I think I will put a little of each ingredient in at once, since I had trouble getting my dates and raisins to unstick from each other and get friendly with the figs! Tip for future makers: make sure you have a bowl big enough for 8 lbs. of goo, or you will have to divide and conquer, which makes it harder to incorporate the dry stuff (seeds and nuts). These are yummy, though; I had never tried a date until today! And they are so much cheaper than energy bars and have fewer preservatives and additives.

Just like an Eatmore Chocolate Bar without the chocolate. Halved the recipe and also used my food processor - one ingredient at a time then mixed all together in large bowl.
