 NOTES:


 


 * Chewy carrot raisin and nut bars -- This is from "The Carrot Cookbook,"


 by Audra and Jack Hendrickson. As they say, this recipe is beta-carotene


 rich. In any case, they are a tasty treat. Serves 4-6.


 


 * Ships well for gifts and the like. Doesn't easily break or dry out.
