Notes

Each bar is 36 carbs. Remember if you are watching blood sugar control to pair a bar with some protein. We like to drizzle some almond butter on our bars. Even though these make 10 bars , a half of bar is more than enough to satisfy that sweet tooth. 
Leave these on your counter or in the fridge for up to one month.
