Raspberry Chocolate Bars {5 Ingredients}
These Raspberry Chocolate Energy Bars are sweet and chewy. Made with nuts and seeds and sweetened by medjool dates, they are the perfect afternoon pick-me-up snack or night-cap dessert.
Servings: 12 bite-size fudge
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups walnuts soaked overnight
- 1 cup medjool dates pitted
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1 pinch sea salt and cayenne pepper
Toppings
- 1/4 cup frozen raspberry
Instructions
- Soak walnuts with a pinch of salt in hot water for 2 hours or overnight. Rinse and drain well.
- Remove the pits from medjool dates, if they are too dry, you can soak them in hot water for 10 minutes to plump them up.*
- In a food processor, pulse all the dry ingredients until blended well
- Pour the mixer into a loaf pan
- Add fruit of choice on top (I used frozen raspberry here)
- Freeze for at least an hour before cutting
- Store in the freezer.
Notes
- * Soft medjool dates will result in fudgier texter and they are easy to blend and incorporate with the nuts.
- If the dough is too wet, you can add 1/4 cup of coconut flour or vegan pea protein to help absorb the extra moisture.
