I think he'd be out of a job if we all just made it at home. I like to get products that contain items that I'm not likely to have the ingredients around or that won't keep well otherwise. I'm not sure how long a paste of nuts and dates would keep if I made it at home and didn't refrigerate it.

True, it is much more cost efficient to blend the two-three ingredients at home. But the times I eat Lara Bars are when I'm not home, and don't have access to my blender. So, what is Hostile Guy trying to say? That if you're buying a packaged product, it should come with lots of superflous ingredients that we dont' really need or want, in order to receive value? His argument could be made for most packaged products that we buy: baby food, cups of coffee, popcorn, turkey sandwiches, popsicles, etc. All of these items we buy, gladly, at 20x what they would cost to make at home. Which, when you think of it, makes most packaged candy a truly great value. I mean, I could make most food that I buy in stores and restaurants for a fraction of the cost in my own kitchen. I could not, however, make a Mounds bar for 50¢. Or candy corn. Or Junior Mints or... I guess what I'm saying is that Hostile Guy needs a reality check. Am I wrong?

Most of the time I eat the Cashew Cookie one, because they have them at Trader Joe's. Seriously, I must eat three or four a week (it's a good breakfast in the car). I went to ExpoWest (natural products expo) and was talking to a guy who works for a company that makes a competing product. He seemed a little hostile about the whole marketing of two ingredient products on the whole. He said, "you've got a blender, why not just make them yourself for a fraction of the price." He's got a point. I think my favorite is Banana, but they seem pretty hard to find. Most of the time I eat the Cashew Cookie one, because they have them at Trader Joe’s.
