Fig Bar Snack. We are home all the time my children are snack monsters. There is more opportunity to experiment with new ones. Now, I am attempting to focus on homeschooling my children at home. I never imagine I want to home school, my children. Some moms decide early on to homeschool all their children that is what they want. I admire that. However, I don’t think I have the patience to do this or maybe the skills. And of course, I am not a teacher. With all the studying the children are doing at home, I would need more healthy snacks for energy to replenish the body and the mind.

Treat
This wonderful natural sweet gooey fig bar is a wonderful treat. This can be a snack or a treat. When I go shop with my children, my daughter always wants a box of fig bar snacks. Constantly, I remind myself to try making these treats at home, but never got around to attempting it. Figs have a good amount of fiber. It keeps the stomach filling full. Another benefit, figs may even lower cholesterol and controls blood sugar. Surprisingly, fig gives body calcium. If anyone is concerned about osteoporosis, figs will help with this.
