Catie's Liar Bars are our new favorite. I read the label of the $2.99 each bars at Tacoma Boys and got some good ideas. Here's what I have tried:
I double the recipe every time and it presses nicely into a 9x9 pan.
I use raw nuts so I add 1 tsp. sea salt.
After I crumble the nuts in the food processor and set them aside, I toss about 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds (not 1/4 c. of each, 1/4 c. total) into the processor and roughly chop them. I sprinkle half of these on the bottom of the 9x9 pan before pressing the date mixture in, then the second half on top after I've pressed the date mixture smooth. I just press them down with my hands so they make a crumbly crust.
Tonight I tried adding about 1 cup of pumpkin (canned) and 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon to the bars. It was very tasty, but it messed with the texture a bit. I will try it again with 1/2 c. pumpkin next time.
