Chocolate Covered Cashew Bars

With just 5 simple pantry staple ingredients – dates, cashews, tahini, vanilla, and chocolate – these bars come together in no time, are no-bake, and are about as healthy as a chocolate bar can get. Recipe from Half-Baked Harvest. Makes 16 bars.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces pitted medjool dates (1 cup packed dates)

• 1 cup roasted cashews

• 3/4 cup tahini

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 12 ounces vegan dark chocolate

• toasted sesame seeds, or dried fruits, for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper.

2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the dates, cashews, tahini, and vanilla. Pulse until well combined and no large chunks remain, 3-5 minutes. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Transfer to the freezer and freeze until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Melt the chocolate in the microwave until melted and smooth. Let cool 10 minutes.

4. Cut bars into 16 bars. Cover in chocolate and top as desired. Let the chocolate set up, about 10 minutes. Keep stored in the fridge. Enjoy!
