Last week I jotted down a recipe for no cook, no bake energy bars and though I haven't made them yet, Rita did and they are easy and yummy. I think they have way too many calories to be a snack, but might make a good meal replacement for someone who is on the go and burning plenty of calories. They also seem like a great treat for kids.
