A Mother's Day treat!
I just bought a big bag of pitted dates and was so happy to
find this recipe on line. I
like that the recipe calls for regular pitted dates rather than Medjool Dates, which
I find to be a little too sweet.
These bars are so easy to make that I will be keeping them on regular
“sweet treats” rotation as well as taking a goodie bag to my mom for Mother's Day.

Double Chocolate Date
Bars
1 1/2 cup
dates, pitted
1/4 cup
+ 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
3 teaspoons
maple syrup
1/2 cup
almonds
1/4 cup
almond butter
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla
1/4 teaspoon
salt + extra for topping (I used finishing salt for final salting)
1/2 cup
dairy-free chocolate chips
1 tablespoon
coconut oil
Make sure dates are pitted. Then place dates and almonds into a food processor and
pulse.
Add cocoa powder, syrup, almond butter, salt, and vanilla to
processor and pulse until everything is mixed together.
Place mixture in a 5 x 8 pan and smooth out with a spatula –
or if you want thicker bars, put mixture in the middle and spread out without
going to the edges.
Place in refrigerator for approx. 10 minutes, allowing bars
to harden a bit.
Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a
microwave-safe dish – or small saucepan on stove.
Remove bars from refrigerator and drizzle melted chocolate
over top; place back in the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes.
Add a little finishing salt to the top.
