    This does taste like a Larabar, and not like a Snickers bar. I would prefer more flavour from the chocolate and less from the dates, but it is still good.
    I cut mine in 24 bars for a smaller snack, bringing the calorie count under 100 per piece.

    PEGGIE0203's comment is about right I think - it needs cocoa/cacao in it to make it more chocolatey tasting (leave out the chocolate chips) and the portion size at 193 calories is too high - making them half the size is a good idea! Vanilla would bring out the chocolate flavour too. - 2/3/16

    I also like using other nuts, such as walnuts to this recipe and on special occasions, some grated coconut. - 6/14/15
