Stack of This and That Bars

This and That Bars

Blake Culver
This is really more of a guide than a recipe. Remember to use up your leftovers,
The key to a really tasty This and That Bar is to try to use equal amounts of dried fruit, walnuts, chocolate or another sweetener. You don't want the bars to be too dry.
For example, a handful of cranberries, a cup of walnuts, and about ¼ bag of chocolate chips make a good, simple combination. 
These measurements below are approximate.
