This was so fantabulous I just had to share!!!! I had some chocolate LARABAR’s hanging around and thought I would put them to good use …. and WOW, I was blown away!!! You could use any chocolate cookie you have laying around. I think I will definitely be making my own chocolate cookies so I can make these all the time.

Ingredients

  • Cocoa Coconut LARABAR, 1 bar will make 1 very large cookie
  • Filling:
  • 1 cup raw macadamia nuts
  • 1 tablespoon mesquite powder, level
  • approximately 5 large shakes of cinnamon, (probably equals 1.5 to 2 teaspoons) or to taste
  • 3 or 4 tbls raw agave or to taste
  • juice of 1 small key lime,, mine had the diameter of about 1 to 1¼ inch
  • teensy weensy bit of water, just enough to get the nuts going in the blender
  • couple shakes of pumpkin pie spice

Preparation

- For the cookie, take the LARABAR and using a rolling pin, roll it out into cookie thickness and cut in half.

- For the filling put all of the filling ingredients in a Vitamix and start on the lowest speed gradually working up to a speed that keeps the mixture whipping but not spurting up the container. This will make a smooth creamy thick spread.

- Spread some of the filling onto one of the cookie halfs and top with the other half & enjoy!!!!

Thanks B.Lotus … it was a wonderful surprise that she popped up just in time for the “Snap” LOL

Thanks 123 for the link. They sound good but I will be definitely be adding carob or raw cocoa to any of the bars for this recipe. I tried some of the filling with one of the cashew cookie LARABAR’s I had on hand (yes, I usually have a variety stock of them LOL) and it definitly tasted way better with the chocolate. The cashew cookie tasted too similar to the filling. :o)

I love Lara bars, but the cashew cookie bar is my least favorite. I like the cinnamon roll bar and the pecan pie and the lemon and the cherry and the apple pie and the… Your filling would be good in any of these!

Haaaa… I couldn’t figure out what the heck you guys were talking about with the cat! Just noticed it! While you’re busy taking pics of your raw creation, there goes your kitty running off with one of the cookies! ;-)
