Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • 1.5 cups dates (pitted)
  • 1.5 cups peanuts (unsalted, raw and not roasted)
  • 3/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips
  • salt to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the peanuts on a sheet pan and bake 8-10 minutes until roasted.
  • Let the peanuts cool a few minutes then place in a food processor with dates and salt. Blend until the dates and peanuts are broken down. 
  • Transfer the mixture to an 8-inch x 8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Spread the mixture into an even layer. Place in the refrigerator while you make the chocolate.
  • Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water. Pro tip: add a teaspoon of coconut oil to make it silky and smooth. Not required, but it does make for the smoothest chocolate!
  • Pour the chocolate over the bars. Set in the refrigerator for 60 minutes or until hardened. It will depend on the time of year how fast they harden. 
  • Cut into 16 bars with a knife that's been placed under hot water for 1 minute. This prevents the bars from cracking. 
  • Store bars in the refrigerator up to 10 days or freezer up to 30 days.
