ALMOND AND GOAT CHEESE CANDY BARS
In today's locavore, organic-minded, food-crazed culture, we get so wrapped up in the idea of seasonal fruits and vegetables that it can be easy to forget another important, deep vein of seasonal foodstuff opportunities. That is, candy. Because I wasn't trying to make child-friendly crowd pleasers here, I had the freedom to pull out ingredients that would not normally appear in a candy bowl. And because these candy bars are savory-sweet, as opposed to cloying sweet, I can eat more of them before my teeth start to ache. It's important to use a mild, soft goat cheese here. You want a slight tang but not an overwhelming barnyard flavor. And if you really dislike the funkiness of goat cheese, you can use cream cheese instead. The candy will be sweeter and not as complex tasting, but the recipe will still work.

GOAT CHEESE, ALMOND, AND HONEY TARTINE
I had this in a little restaurant in Strasbourg called L'Epicerie and it was tasty! The honey cuts through the pungent flavor of the goat cheese and the almonds create a nice crunch. Healthy, cheap, and easy to make. Cut in smaller pieces, this would make a nice appetizer, or serve it with a salad to make a light lunch or dinner (which is how I had it, and it was plenty!).

ALMOND BARS
"This is one of my favorite recipes for last-minute school bake sales," writes Sandy Kerrison from her home in Lockport, New York. "The cake-like snacks are the first items to go...that is, if they're not grabbed by a teacher first. I also include them in Christmas cookie gift baskets."
