IF YOU ARE ASKING FOR NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION ON A BAR WITH SUGAR, DATES, WALNUT, ETC THEN YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE THEM. USE SOME COMMON SENSE!

Sometimes you need the nutritional value to figure out the points if you are on Weight Watchers and would like something for dessert.

These sound really good but I would like some nutritional information.
