These Paleo Fig Bars, made with Mission Figs from Valley Fig, will make you do a happy dance!
They are grain free, refined sugar free, gluten free and so full of flavor. Even better than those fig bars you find in a sleeve that you find in your local grocery store.
This is the perfect fig bar to bring to your holiday parties because not only will everyone enjoy them, they are allergy friendly so your gluten free friends will thank you!
I have joined together with a group of bloggers to share how we use these amazing figs in our recipes.

I was surprised to learn that my home state of California produces 100% of US dried figs? California farmers started growing figs commercially in 1885 and today Golden Figs and Mission Figs are the two most popular varieties grown in the state. There are so many ways to use heart-healthy figs! Check out the Valley Fig website for more recipes ideas.
