During the holidays, Jodi Mine, Hawaiʻi<\/span> Community College<\/a> vice chancellor for administrative services, loves making energy bars and giving them out.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s such a wonderful feeling that this little gesture is appreciated,” Mine said. “It\u2019s a way to hold the warmth of the Christmas feeling in my heart all year round.”<\/p>\n

She said her energy bars are simple to make and the recipe is very forgiving.<\/p>\n

“Even if you put too much butter or peanut butter, the bar will come out delicious,” Mine said. “It\u2019s customizable to fit your tastebuds, you could add other ingredients, such as chocolate chips, nuts and dried fruits to create combinations that are unique to your flavor profile.”<\/p>\n
