Description
A bar to satisfy my coconut chocolate craving without being nutritionally void.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1/2 cup almonds+12 more for individual bars
- 1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, process the dates, almonds, and cocoa powder until they form a ball. It’s okay if there are some specks of almonds that aren’t totally incorporated. Transfer to a small bowl and add 1/4 cup of the coconut. Use your hands to mix it in.
- You’ll need to knead it and fold it until it blends in. Add the rest of the coconut and do the same thing until it is totally mixed in.
- On a piece of wax paper, use your hands to flatten the mixture into a rectangle.
- Next, use a knife to cut it into four equal pieces.
- Add three almonds to the top of each individual rectangle.
- Fold the mixture on top of the almonds and press it so it is closed. Use a knife to cut into 12 individual bars, pressing the seams closed with your fingers if necessary.
