5 Ingredient Chocolate Energy Bars.
The 3 ingredient energy bars have been such an overwhelming success in my house that I needed to start making more for everyone. Being a self-proclaimed chocoholic – this version was inevitable! 🙂
Ingredients:
1 c almonds, toasted
16 pitted Medjool dates, pitted
3 tbl of good quality cocoa
3 tbl of dark chocolate chips (optional)
1/8th tsp of salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the almonds on a cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes. Add the almonds to your processor and blend until you have fine chunks of almond. Then add the remaining ingredients to your food processor and blend until a large mass forms. Break it up and process again until it it is well blended.
In a lined (parchment) 8×8 or 9×9 glass pan, add the mixture. I then add a piece of plastic wrap over the top and roll a small glass over top to smooth it out and make it even. Refrigerate for 45 minutes. Then remove and slice into bite sized squares or bars. Enjoy!

So do I!!! 🙂 Went on a field trip for my daughter’s class and took these with us (in the car with the moms) and they were a hit too! Thanks Stephanie for sharing your love oxoxo!
I bet these are incredible. Dr Axe.com has a similar one made with dried cherries and walnuts and dates. Our kids love those too. Bet it would be good to marry these two recipes.
Yes it would!!!!
