ok, I just did it!
I used 8oz chopped dates, and 2oz of Pecan Chips, mushed them all together with about a tbsp of water to help it be sticky,
then I melted 2 squares of 100% cacao baking chocolate and mixed it with 100g of skim milk and 2 tbsp sucanat (organic cane sugar).
I lined the bottom of a rectangular tupperware with plastic wrap and spread the date mixture in, pressed tight, then spread the choco-mixture on top. wrapped the plastic the rest of the way around it and put in in the fridge so the chocolate could harden.0 -
Just printed a no bake carrot cake bite that is date based,

Can't wait to make my own.0 -

Okay - I just made a half recipe of the chocolate babies, and wow - glad I didn't make the whole thing. Because I ate all but three bites of it, which my guys tried. So, for 775 calories, I had a snack that put me WAY over. My consolation is that they are very healthy.
I will definitely be making these for our hikes this summer.0 -

yeah me too. My entire recipe was 1600 and I cut it into FOUR bars.... I ended up eating 3 of them. :ohwell:0 -
Great, I've been thinking about making my own snack bars at home, so I'll definitley check these out.
Thanks for sharing.0 -
I have no idea what a "larabar" is but the thought of ANYTHING with pb&j is all good with me! Will have to try making these sometime! Are they very high in cals? Good after a workout?0

Oh what a great idea. I too love Larabars but never buy them because of the cost. Thanks for sharing!0

Glad you guys are enjoying them. They are calorie dense... but we shouldn't be starving ourselves anyways.
I usualyy make 6-8 bars and make them small enough to be 150-200 calories a each. :-D
enjoy!0 -
