So crunchy, so sweet, so wholesome. Well, wholesome in the fact that I used real Irish butter, oats, brown sugar and raspberry jam. But if butter’s not wholesome, then what is, I ask? What is the world coming to these days anyway.
Recipe can be found here. I highly recommend you make these for your own wellbeing.
And, speaking of wellbeing, you should probably go ahead and make these, too, while you’re at it.
I saw this recipe a few days ago and knew if I made it, the boy would pretty much do whatever I said. I had to work in pretty severe conditions but the final outcome was worth it, I assure you.

July 14, 2010 at 8:03 pmBoth of those looks SO GOOD. The raspberry bars may look a bit better, though. But that may have to do with my uber-powerful sweet tooth 😉

July 14, 2010 at 8:16 pmAh, I think that would be equally as powerful on my husband! Thanks for the idea 😉

Becki @ HikeBikeEat
July 14, 2010 at 9:27 pmLooks like a good night! I used massive amounts of butter in my dinner too. It’s the only way to go!
Janna (janna's keeping it real)
July 14, 2010 at 9:34 pmOh wow.
I need to get on this butter bandwagon, because those look fantastic!
Cara
July 14, 2010 at 9:46 pmThose bars look great and so does the recipe. Do you think there could be a substitute for some of the butter? or is all the 3/4 necessary for recipe success?

July 15, 2010 at 4:42 amCream churned into butter couldn’t be MORE wholesome. It’s all natural, baby. 😀
And besides, butter is love.

Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman
July 15, 2010 at 4:59 amI usually hate Nutrigrain bars but I think this version could turn me. I’m pretty sure they won’t taste like plastic.

OK Chick
July 15, 2010 at 5:13 amWow great minds must think alike. Last night I was going to make that exact same PW recipe. However, I decided not to because I’m having Mexican food tonight.
Jenna

jenna

RhodeyGirl
July 15, 2010 at 5:30 amYUMMMMMMMMMM.
Those bars look AWESOME! I might have to make those for my bar eating husband. Would probably be much cheaper and healthier than all the bars he eats now.
Morgan @ Life After Bagels
July 15, 2010 at 5:46 ambutter is totally wholesome, hahaha . . . down with margarine!
Rebecca
July 15, 2010 at 5:50 amMy boyfriend could eat our whole kitchen if I didn’t stop him. He’d definitely appreciate the burritos. And I’d definitely appreciate the raspberry bars. Yum!
Tina
July 15, 2010 at 5:54 amBoth of those recipes look amazing!
Jess @ MTL Veggie
July 15, 2010 at 5:56 amWhat is it with boys and Mexican food? That’s all mine ever wants to eat!? Your nutri-bars look like they turned out perfectly 🙂
Jessie
July 15, 2010 at 6:26 amThe burritos look great. Surely will try them. Have you had Pioneer Woman’s Tequila Lime Chicken? TO DIE FOR!!! Really easy too 🙂

Anya @ Fitness & Sunshine
July 15, 2010 at 6:49 amThe bars look great! I love real butter as well, and I think it’s much better for you than things like Earth Balance.
Courtney @ 3 Months
July 15, 2010 at 6:56 amI’ve made those raspberry bars before…well, actually, I make them a lot! They are so darn good!

Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin
July 15, 2010 at 9:34 amI’ve never really been a huge burrito person, but I’m having a huge craving now!
Rebecca @ How the Cookies Crumble
