Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Kind Bars

I am obsessed with Kind Bars.  Especially the dark chocolate drizzled sea salt Kind Bars.  I literally buy them by the dozens.  I have a Kind Bar in my purse ALMOST all the time - for snacking emergencies, you know.

I have to admit that I was somewhat hesitant when I found a copycat Kind Bar recipe on www.theyummylife.com.  How could I possibly make a granola bar at home that's BETTER than a KIND bar?  Then I realized that I was approaching the recipe in the wrong way - maybe I should NOT strive to improve upon my favorite granola bar but simply to recreate the wholesome bars at home for a fraction of the cost of what I can buy them.

After making my own Kind bars - I think I love them even more than I did before.  I love the fact that these bars are made without refined sugars and that they have only simple, healthy ingredients.  If you are a lover of the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Kind Bar - you are going to love this copycat recipe.

Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Bars

  • 1/2 cup puffed millet

If you're like me - you've probably never bought (or even heard of) millet before.   It's actually widely available at supermarkets - I found it in the organic cereal aisle.

There you have it - Kind Bars that are just as delicious as their grocery store counterparts at a fraction of the cost. 
If you are not drooling by now - there is something wrong.  These sweet, salty, nutty, chocolaty bars are pure goodness.
