Nutty Oatmeal Bars

What's better than homemade?

I whipped up these snack bars in less than 5 minutes (minus the setting time) and enjoy one every day. I was wandering around my kitchen, hungry, when I realized I had a ton of dried fruit that was going to waste. I decided to throw it all in and tame my tummy because I LOVE snack bars and didn't want to leave the house. These are great summer time snacks for the kids, on the go snacks for your road trips or vacations, and the perfect midday meal prep snack! I used the dried fruit I had laying around but you could use any kind. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
