Nutrition bars are dee-licious. Or at least they could be.

If you’re tired of missing out on the crunchy goodness of commercial energy bars because you’re not too fond of their ingredients or you have special nutrition needs, click over to www.youbars.com to create a personalized nutrition bar.

Tasty You Bar ingredient options include peanut butter, nine varieties of dried fruits, granola, walnuts, almonds, pecans, soy nuts and chocolate, and as you add your desired ingredients, the You Bar Web site will calculate the nutritional value of your creation.

A batch of 12 You Bars goes for $40, and you can even personalize the package by naming your You Bar.
