This recipes comes to us from our dear friends and big fans of Stakich products, Margaret and Jason. They are new, first time parents, and with recently having a kid, they are left with little time to cook. They have been taking advantage of the nap times to whip up quick and easy-to-make snacks that will satisfy their hunger and hold them over until their next meal.
These nutty energy bars are not only delicious, but so simple to make. They remind me of Kind Bars, but without the attached price tag. The nuts provide you with a rich amount of healthy fat, fiber and protein and the honey adds in just the right amount of sweetness. She said for next time, she's going to try them with our Cinnamon Enriched Raw Honey and drizzle dark chocolate on top. Mmm can't wait to try those, too!
Heat honey, brown rice syrup, sea salt and vanilla over medium heat and stir frequently. Remove from heat when instant read thermometer hits about 250 degrees.
Pour syrup over nut mix and stir until combined.
Lay out and press mix into a rectangle. Laying it out on wax paper that's been placed on top of a cutting board is easiest.
Once mixture is cool and set (I placed mine in the fridge for 30 minutes), cut into bars and enjoy!

Unlike regular honey, raw honey is not exposed to high heat or heavy filtration, which helps preserve its nutritional value and health benefits. It may also contain bee pollen and propolis, which further enhance its medicinal properties.
Natural wellness solutions are gaining popularity as more people look for ways to support their health using ingredients from nature. One bee product that has recently gained attention in the health world is bee propolis. Known as the hive’s natural defense system, propolis has been used for centuries for its protective and wellness-supporting properties. But what is bee propolis, and why are so many people adding it to their daily wellness routine?
Not every jar, bottle, or bag is as good as it looks. A lot of the big-name stuff you see online? It’s been over-processed or blasted with heat, which zaps the natural enzymes. Some of it’s been watered down with syrups or other fillers. Sometimes, it just sits around too long and loses its freshness and flavor. When shortcuts get taken, you end up with products that don’t taste right and don’t give you the real benefits.
