If you are a fan of the Larabar products and want to know how to make your own, you may be interested in reading this blog (link underlined) with a recipe for Larabar (Peanut-Butter Cookie variety). The homemade Larabar clone / copy (the "LauraBar", since Laura made it) is very simple to make and takes less than 10 minutes from start to cleanup.

As with all the Larabar products, it is simply dates coupled with other ingredients that provide the desired flavor.  This peanut-butter-cookie Laurabar recipe produces a snack bar that really does taste like a peanut butter cookie (with chocolate-chip option too).  It is a great and simple way to have gluten-free peanut-butter cookies at hand.

Most of all, making your own Larabar-copies at home can be done for about 25-cents/bar instead of the $1.00-$1.69/bar that stores charge.  For a 10-minute investment of your time, you can save a lot of money on a gluten-free snack or dessert with this recipe.  And, it will give you the basic idea of how to make other variations of the product.
