These no-bake Cookie Dough Larabars are a nutritious snack that mimic the delightful taste of cookie dough while being naturally sweetened. Made with wholesome ingredients, they are perfect for a quick energy boost!

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups Natural Delights Cacao Pecan Mini Medjools
• ½ cup nuts (almonds, cashews, or peanuts)
• ½ cup chocolate chips
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Start by lining a baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there’s some overhang for easy removal later.
2. Blend the Base: In a food processor, combine the Cacao Pecan Mini Medjools, your choice of nuts, and vanilla extract. Process until the mixture is smooth and sticky.
3. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Add the chocolate chips and a pinch of salt to the blended mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
4. Form the Bars: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly to create an even layer across the bottom.
5. Chill and Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to firm up.
6. Cut and Serve: Once set, remove from the dish using the parchment overhang and cut into your desired bar sizes.

These bars not only satisfy your sweet cravings but also provide energy thanks to their high fiber content from Medjool dates, which are digested slowly, making them a great source of sustained energy. Enjoy your homemade treat!
