Chocolate Hazelnut Lara Style Bars
These yummy treats are so easy to make and taste remarkably like the Lara bars. A great grab and go snack full of whole food ingredients.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup roasted almonds
- ⅓ cup roasted hazelnuts available on amazon.com
- 3 tbsp cacao powder
- 1¾ cups medjool dates soft ( if not soft heat in microwave for 30 seconds at a time until soft)
- ⅓ to ½ cup chopped chocolate sweetened with coconut sugar I use Primal Chocolate or Hu Chocolate. If you don't mind using a little cane sugar, you could use any vegan mini chocolate chips. Available on amazon.com
Instructions
- Put both nuts and cacao powder in a food processor and pulse into coarse bits.
- Add the softened dates and pulse. This may take 30 seconds up to a minute to come together as a ball.
- Remove date mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the chopped chocolate using your hands.
- Press mixture evenly in the bottom of a parchment lined 8" x 8" pan.
- Refrigerate for 30 to 40 minutes. Lift the parchment paper out of the pan with the date mixture and place on a cutting board. Cut into 8 pieces 2" x 4". Wrap individually in parchment paper or plastic wrap.
