No-Bake Date Bars

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.
