Aimee Song's Raw Bars

On my journey of eating healthy, I came across Aimee Song's Song of Style Blog and this amazing recipe for her Raw Bars. These are so easy to make and packed with so many "goodness" ingredients, I always feel so proud of myself after making them, and even better after eating them.  You could just google the recipe but for everyone's ease here is the recipe below.
