A simple fruit and nut bar with a classic taste. With only four ingredients, you’ll find this recipe super easy. After just a few minutes, you can have chewy almond and macadamia nut snacks.

As with many of my bar recipes, this recipe uses raw ingredients only. There is no baking involved.

If your macadamia nuts are salted, then you should leave out the additional salt in the recipe.
