Vegan Eats: The Roman Bar's Chocolate-Dipped Honey-Peach Apricot Fruit Bar

San Rafael's Roman Bar (so named for its owner, Roman Starno) has a sweet, vegan treat with its chocolate-dipped fruit bars that were originally inspired by an experiment with chocolate and Fig Newtons in Starno's kitchen almost 20 years ago. A whole wheat pastry/cookie concoction liberally enrobed in dark chocolate and filled with blueberry or, in this case, honey-peach apricot, it does a good job with its flavors and, more importantly with vegan products, moist texture. It can be had for $1.50 at Rainbow Grocery (1745 Folsom).
