I used dried figs instead of dates for a little less sweetness, subbed the almonds for macadamia nuts, and gave it a flavor twist with some unsweetened shredded coconut! They’re delicious - thanks for the recipe inspiration!

In reply to India. I would try the fresh strawberries and see how they turned out.

In reply to Ashley Piercy. I'm sorry it didn't work for you! The size of the dates and how moist they are might have made a difference. The ones I buy are quite large and soft. I'm glad you made it work, though. If my dates happen to be a little dry, I add more and a little water as well.

I don't know how your bars look like they do because I followed your recipe exactly and what came out of my food processor was a big pile of nut and strawberry dust. When I doubled the dates and added almost a half a cup of water I had a nice sticky Lara bar like consistency. I suppose I could have overprocessed the nuts and strawberries but it seems unlikely that this recipe as it is would yield the consistency needed to create a homemade Lara bar.

I had a bunch of nice fresh strawberries too. I just sliced them and put them in my dehydrator just so I can make larabars with them. I chose this recipe-pretty sure it'll turn out good if you don't have freeze dried, but have a dehydrator, or an oven turned on the lowest setting! :) Can't wait to try them this afternoon! Thanks for sharing your recipes!
