Healthy Chocolate Bar Desserts

These aren’t your normal sugar-laden, chocolate bars instead these are made with healthy simple ingredients that will satisfy your sweet cravings, no guilt involved. A peanut bar, which tastes like a Snickers as well as a coconut bar and a what I like to call a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure bar consisting of any (healthy) ingredients you like. They are extremely easy to make and are perfect for a late-night snack or a dessert treat.

Peanut Bar

1 tsp or more if you like of all-natural peanut butter

1 cup of dates

½ cup of cashews

1 tsp of cacao powder

Small block of dark chocolate

These are only rough estimates you can increase the amounts to your desire

1. Blend together the dates, peanut butter, cashews and cacao powder. You can also add a couple teaspoons of water to help blend the mixture together.
2. Scoop out mixture onto a flat tray
3. Take a block of dark chocolate and melt over the stove or in the microwave and then pour it evenly over the mixture.
4. Cool the mixture in the fridge until it hardens, then cut into blocks.

Coconut Chocolate Bar

1 Cup of dates

¾ cup of shredded or desiccated coconut

1 tsp of cacao powder

Small block of dark chocolate

These are only rough estimates you can increase the amounts to your desire

1. Blend together the dates, coconut and cacao powder. You can also add a couple teaspoons of water to help blend the mixture together.
2. Scoop out mixture onto a flat tray
3. Take a block of dark chocolate and melt over the stove or in the microwave and then pour it evenly over the mixture.
4. Cool the mixture in the fridge until it hardens, then cut into blocks.

Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Bar

For this one I choose coconut, strawberries and almonds. But you can add any type of fruit or nuts you like. Some suggestions are macadamias, hazelnuts, bananas, blueberries or raspberries.

1 cup of dates

½ cup of shredded or desiccated coconut

5 almonds

3 strawberries

Small block of dark chocolate

These are only rough estimates you can increase the amounts to your desire

1. Blend together the dates, coconut and strawberries. You can also add a couple teaspoons of water to help blend the mixture together.
2. Scoop out mixture onto a flat tray, pop the whole almonds into the mixture randomly
3. Take a block of dark chocolate and melt over the stove or in the microwave and then pour it evenly over the mixture.
4. Cool the mixture in the fridge until it hardens, then cut into blocks.

Now eat until your heart or stomach’s content.
