I tried the fig bar recipe from: Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. I put the link to worldcat.org below. I am a huge fan of the library system and this will tell you where the nearest library to you has the book. It also tells you where you can buy it if you like.
This was my first pass at this recipe. Which means I sort of followed the recipe. I think it needs some tweaking. Russell and friends do not. I am going to tweak and when I am happy with it, the recipe will be here. Also, the gluten free version since I had that request. Welcome to my life. At least I get called a goddess often.......
