• You'll need 3 and 1/4 cup of dry ingredients in a bowl. You can mix and match these choices, according to your favorite combinations or what works best for your dietary needs. This recipe is Chocolate-Cherry. Remember, my kitchen has to be completely free of peanuts and tree nuts, so you will never see peanut butter or almond butter in my recipes. However, if you can enjoy those things, they are easy substitutions.
• Once you have your dry ingredients mixed in a bowl, pour the wet ingredients over and combine with a spatula or by hand.
  
• Place a Silpat matt, liner or parchment paper onto a cookie sheet. Add the mixture of ingredients onto the sheet and flatten down. You can try using a rolling pin over it, to get the desired height and flatness. This is a kid's favorite part!
  

Place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.

• After it has chilled and set, invert your cookie sheet onto a cutting board and cut the bars in the portion sizes you wish. As you can see, Momma uses a big knife, so the kiddos have to stand back as I make this happen.
  
• Wrap the bars individually or set them in a container in the fridge. They will keep for up to two weeks.

  This recipe yields at least 10 bars, and you'll have scraps to enjoy as well.
