Chocolate fruit and nut bars

Naked bars scaled

Have you ever tried one of those Nakd bars? They are pretty tasty but unfortunately they come wrapped in plastic. So, thanks to one of our lovely customers, I am able to share with you a recipe for your very own fruit bar, and these truly are ‘naked’. This is a really simple recipe which is gluten free, vegan, and sugar free. But I assure it, they don’t taste well behaved. Eating these gives me my sweet snack fix for the day.  The dates give these bars a deliciously fudgey taste and I assure you they are a great way to pack in some healthy sugars if you are planning on climbing any mountains.
Ingredients:

175g dried dates
150g sultanas
225g cashew pieces
3 tbsp cocoa powder

Method

This is the best bit because it is so simple.

Put all the ingredients into a blender or mixer. Blend until there are no lumps left and the mixture is fairly homogenous.

Grease a small baking tray with coconut oil and pack the mixture into the tray. Use a spoon to make sure you get right into the corners. Put the tray in the fridge overnight.

Tip out the mixture (it should have set into a block). Slice into bars and hey presto, you have your very own, completely naked, chocolate fruit bars. Probably a very healthy snack.

Top tip, these can go a bit sticky if they are left out of the fridge for a while in warm weather.  Try coating them in desiccated coconut or chopped nuts
