My recipe for Almond-Butter Crunch Candy Bars won the Attune Foods Healthy Holidays Recipe contest in the vegan category!
How time flies! It has been quite a while since I posted a recipe here. Between Christmas, New Year’s, getting the flu for 5 days, and working on my fitness blog, The Fit Cookie has been a little bit neglected lately (poor thing!).
I have some great things coming your way soon, but first I wanted to share some exciting news: my Almond Butter Crunch Candy Bar recipe won the vegan category of the Attune Healthy Holidays Recipe Contest!
I entered the contest in December and they chose my recipe as a winner in the vegan category! As you know, I am not vegan, but many of my recipes are vegan because of our multiple food allergies, and this recipe was a perfect match for the contest!
These candy bars are mouth watering. Okay, I might be a little biased, but they are super-yummy! I think I ate all of these candy bars in 2 days (or less)…by myself…Well, they are healthy ; )
The vegan portion of the recipe contest was judged by Kathy Patalsky of Healthy Happy Life. Thanks, Kathy, for choosing my recipe! Check out the recipe on the Attune Foods page where my recipe is archived, and watch Kathy’s contest video below!

I’m going to make these but have to get a different cereal here in the UK. How many bars does the recipe yield? Thanks!
Hi Pamela! Any brown rice crispy cereal should do the trick in this recipe. The batch should yield about 8-10 small bars, but you can make them as big or as small as you like. Mine were about 1-1/2 inches long, so they were small.
Thanks so much! Can’t wait to try these and I know my children will enjoy them!
Congratulations! And they look SO good!!
Thanks Melissa!
Congrats! I will be making these asap!
Great, let me know what you think!
Wow, those look delicious! Congratulations on winning the contest! I love Kathy’s blog and she knows her vegan stuff. Pinning this one for sure!
I checked out Kathy’s blog today for the first time and she has some great looking recipe on there – I need to try her cookies!
Congratulations – what a cool thing to win – and these really do sound amazing!!!
Thank you Heather!
Those look utterly scrumptious! No wonder why you won!
These are definitely a cheat food, but so worth it!
