Chocolate Coconut Chew LARABAR Copycat
Updated Sep 09, 2024
As Seen In
Chris Stephan, just soak the dates in some boiling water for a few minutes, no longer dried out. just don’t use too much water so it can be used to ease the food processor to blend
Wondering how these would be using figs rather than the dates. Texture wise, I’m thinking they’d be similar. Tastewise, they’d be like the filling of Fig Newtons maybe. Sometimes when I buy dates, they are a bit dried out.
GF Bisquick?
The make-your-own pancake mix from my second cookbook is basically GF Bisquick, Donia!
I know I’ve been missing in comments for ages, but I haven’t forgotten you! I recently moved and crazy life stuff happened, ya know.
Anyway, I’m still getting my weekly updates (love them!) and wanted to come back into the fold and chime in about these lovely looking bars which I plan to make ASAP. As far as I know you need a processor for dates (alas such a sticky clean up) but these bars look worth the effort!
Thanks again for all your copycats and DIYs :)

So good to hear from you, Dana! Glad you’re still following along. Hope all is well. :)
This is more related towards the holidays but I would love some DIY presents like cookies in a jar. I also like to use Asian sauces like peanut or pad thai sauce but they are hard (and EXPENSIVE) to find GF. Just a thought :-)
Interesting, Heather. I did one cookies-in-a-jar post, but it was ages and ages ago. Great suggestions!
Do you have any recipes for Nutrigrain bars or Poptarts? We buy Glutino brand, but it really doesn’t come close. They are far from healthy food, but they work in a pinch. Or what about Totinos pizza rolls or egg rolls? I was going to try to make egg rolls with your wonton recipe.
I make gf/vegan ‘pop tarts’ – if you’re interested, let me know
Hi, Angie, I have recipes for nutrigrain bars and Pop tarts already on the blog, and there will other (updated) versions in my next cookbook. Many of the things you asked for are actually already on the blog. Just use the search function!
I just made some of these…they are amaaaazing!!
PS I used a bar of Cacao and its sent me buzzing!!!
Nicole, these are interesting! I have never heard of LARABARS…LOL!
I’m a date fan so these are on the to do list.
Suggestions? you seem to have plenty good ones already.
Have a pleasant weekend :)
LARABARS are made by General Mills, Lucy. They’re pretty much all over at this point, so I’m sure you’ve run across them but probably just didn’t notice. :)
