These guys are so good it’s dangerous! They are sweet, chewy, and perfect with a cup of coffee. Did I mention they are vegan and gluten-free?! Make a batch of these No-Bake Date Bars to have on hand for a naturally sweet snack whenever you need one.
Ingredients Overview:
Nuts: Raw almonds.
Dates: Medjool dates because they are larger, juicer, and taste like caramel.
Cocoa powder: Unsweetened.
Optional for topping: Your favorite chocolate; dark, milk, or white.
How to Store No-Bake Date Bars
Store in an airtight container in the fridge. They should last up to one week… but I bet they’ll be gone before then:-)
You can also store these treats in the freezer for 1-2 months.
