Energy Bars, Chocolate [vegan]

Put yourself in Jesus’ sandals for a moment. People are clamoring for your help and have many real needs. You are able to meet all those needs. Can you ever feel justified in pulling away to be alone? Jesus did. We love to feel wanted. We love the sense of importance/power/indispensability (pick one) that comes from doing something no one else can do. But Jesus did not succumb to those temptations. He knew the importance of disciplining Himself to be alone.

Bake in 8"x8" or 9"x9" pan at 350 for 15 minutes. You can vary the
ingredients for different flavors--use other sugars instead of corn
syrup, use jam instead of the raisins, use different nuts if you  don't
