I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Trail Blaze Energy Bars

I recently was sent Trail Blaze Bake-At-Home Energy Bars for review. I’m up for anything that is quick and easy plus good for my family. The true test though is if my kids will eat them. They are extremely picky and it seems the healthier something is the more likely they are to hate it.

My kids helped me make the Cranberry Walnut bars. They are more apt to try something new if they help make it. There are three wet ingredient options to choose from. We used the applesauce and yogurt option since my kids love both. We mixed the ingredients together and spread into a greased pan. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Half an hour later we had our wholesome snack.

Two of my four kids loved them. That says a lot for how picky they all are. Hubby loves them too. We prefer them cold and I’m thinking they are a perfect snack to put in their lunch boxes. Junk free and guilt free.

Matisse & Jack’s Bake-At-Home Energy bars are made with organic rolled oats, flax seed, nuts and dried fruits. They have no hydrogenated oils or preservatives. Each bar contains a healthy dose of Omega-3 fats and protein. You can find their nutritional information here.

They sell for only $4.99 a box which is much cheaper than prepackaged energy bars. If you purchase five or more boxes the shipping is free. You can order them from the Matisse & Jack’s website.
