Inching closer

  Below is a picture of the latest step in the evolution of the energy snacks that you remember I've been doing. If you missed the memo, I made some balls from fruit and nuts and offered them as a healthy alternative snack. However, I realised that in their first incarnation, the shape of the balls and their packaging wan't going to work.

  After some chin rubbing, a plan for snacks 2.0 was hatched. Instead of balls a bar, cut into cubes, was decided on, and a spiffy box was dreamt up. To execute that plan, I made a press to produce the bars, got a company to make some boxes and finally organised another nice bunch of folk to supply some paper to wrap the bars in.

  The paper was delivered today and what you see above is how the bar will look in the new box, wrapped in the paper. If I may be quite honest with you, I'm really happy with how it looks. The only thing that's missing is the labels.

  Fortunately the labels don't need to be the finished article. It's easy to print a few at a time so I can go into production very soon. And I will be. You can be sure that I'll continue to bring you updates, but at the moment I'm aiming to have a mail order section on the Revolting food website set up soon. That will be the next big step.

  What is a strange irony is that while I'm dong my Banting experiment, I'm avoiding carbs, and dried fruit is packed full of them, so I'll have to be very careful to not do too much tasting while I'm mixing up the new batches.
