Way back in 2009, I developed my first Glo Bar recipe. They were such a hit online and offline, I started up a bakery selling several different flavours of Glo Bars. I mainly sold them online, but I also sold them at weekly Farmer's Markets, too. After having success with this for a year or two, I was approached by an editor from Penguin Publishing house to inquire if I wanted to publish a cookbook. The rest is history! Even though I no longer sell my Glo Bars online, I love sharing my favourite recipes with fans. This Almond Joy flavour is amazing! It highlights the delicious flavours of coconut, chocolate, and almond all packed into one portable bar.

Ingredients:
For the dry ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup rice crisp cereal (not puffed rice)
- 3/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons cacao nibs (optional, adds a nice crunch)
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
For the wet ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown rice syrup*
- 1/4 cup natural roasted almond butter
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the topping:
- 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon virgin coconut oil
- Finely chopped almonds
Directions:
- * It's important not to substitute the brown rice syrup for another liquid sweetener. The brown rice syrup is necessary to bind the bars. I've tried all kinds of substitutes and nothing holds the bars together as well as brown rice syrup.
