This snack bar is for YOU
I've got just the snack bar for you: The YOU Bar. You design it. You name it. You devour it. All you need is access to the internet and few minutes of time.Check out this handy site for a step-by-step ordering system that allows you to choose a protein base and add extra ingredients, like dried fruits, chocolate, even coffee crystals. The folks at YOU Bar do all the work -- they bake, provide nutritional facts, and honor special requests, like "not too sweet." Not happy with what you've ordered once you taste it? Just send back your uneaten bars and you'll get a chance to modify your recipe.
If you're not tempted to create your own bar, tried and true flavors of this treat are available. Beware, though, these treats run $40 for a box of 12. Worth it? Give it a try and see.

This is a really cool idea! I wonder why they make their website look like it is for Chinese restaurant...
A little pricey, but understandable since they have to customize small quantities. Considering you are going to pay $2/bar at the store anyway, I guess it isn't that bad.

Jackie,
Your link is pointing to http://youbar.com, not http://youbars.com (you left off the "s").
Although, http://youbar.com is quite, uh, interesting.

I actually tried them, but it was the first and last time. $4/bar is too steep for something that is almost identical in flavor and nutrition to Lara Bars. I buy Lara bars at Costco for less than $1/bar.
It's a cute idea though, and I enjoyed designing my own bar. The end product tasted great. These guys do a good job.

It's a good product and they do a good job with flavor. $4 a bar is too steep though for something that tastes almost identical to Lara Bars. I buy Lara bars at Costco for less $1/bar.
