No Bake Trail Mix Bars
Don't get me wrong, I love to just grab ones at the stores, however, a lot of times they can be full of added sugar, gunk, and/or ingredients that are not the healthiest that really aren't needed to make a delicious nutritious bar. I also really prefer making my own, especially after seeing the gunk that can be in children snack bars.
