These look great! Now I don’t have to power up the dehydrator. I think I’ll add some coconut flake along with the goji berries. Should they be kept in the fridge?

This is the first raw recipe besides chocolate that I have made that has turned out; Yayyyyyy!!! I am so happy to have found these bars which do not require a dehydrator. With practice hopefully mine will one day look as great as yours, :)
