Introduction
This is a revamped version of an old family recipe that removes all the added sugar, reduces fat by more than 50%, and swaps out graham cracker crust for a very tasty nut/raisin/cinnamon crust that my family favors over graham cracker crust. 8 grams protein for less than 300 calories qualifies as a great snack or the protein portion of a meal.

I use pecans, walnuts or almonds, but any nut will work.
Individual servings can be frozen for portion controlled meals or snacks.
