Tropical Fruit Bars

I love the Tropical Fruit Tart Larabar.  When the grocery store puts them on sale for $1, I purchase a few for a treat.  I found recipes online for various flavors but none for my favorite flavor and decided to experiment.  Today, I made my own version using six ingredients. The taste is remarkably close to the original product.  This healthy treat can be made in five minutes!
