White chocolate and almonds are one of cookings go-to flavor matchups. Add in fruit and you’ve got a match made in heaven! These fruit bars are simply divine. You can customize them to your own liking by switching up the fruit you use. We’ve tried them with almost every kind you could imagine and have yet to find one we don’t like. They really are that good!
