I loved your chocolate energy bars. These look lighter and the apricot colour is really pretty, I might add some orange blossom water too! :D

ReplyDeleteSo nice and they look tasty.
ReplyDeleteare the apricots dried or fresh? I assumed they were fresh, but another comment is making me second-guess.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Dried apricots.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! How long will they keep?
ReplyDelete@Ranae27: These do not have as long a shelf-life as store-bought raw bars, keep the bars refrigerated for about 1 week.
