    Chocolate Cherry Snack Bars are No Bake, Plant Based, and Nutritious

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on May 6, 2021 Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    I have a bit of a sweet tooth, but over the years, I’ve been able to satisfy it by simply enjoying healthier treats, like these chocolate cherry snack bars. They’re just sweet enough, with good depth of flavor, but made without any added sugars. For people like me, who enjoy carbs for breakfast and for midday energy, these homemade bites are even gift worthy (hint: for mom)!

    These Healthy Chocolate Cherry Snack Bars are Better than Larabars

    I’ve been purchasing Larabars since they were first released, many, many years ago. They’re convenient, but they taste much fresher when you make them yourself, and are even less expensive. I usually buy the ingredients in quantity from Nuts.com. I also like that this recipe contains some oats. It gives them a little more chew and more staying power.

    Buy bulk nuts, snack mixes, dried fruits, candies & sweets by the pound at Nuts.com!

    These chocolate cherry snack bars will keep for the day at room temperature, if you’re on the go. But for optimal freshness, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They can also be frozen. I prefer to freeze bars, to preserve texture, and because I like the taste of cold bars.

    Author: California Walnuts
    Recipe type: Breakfast
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 9 bars
    Ingredients
    • ½ cup old-fashioned oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)
    • 1 cup (about 12) pitted medjool dates
    • ½ cup shelled walnuts
    • ½ cup unsweetened dried cherries
    • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
    • ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt, to taste
    Instructions
    1. In a food processor bowl, combine the dates, oats, walnuts, cherries, cocoa powder, and salt. Process for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture resembles crumbly dough.
    2. Turn the mixture out onto wax paper or parchment paper and shape evenly into a ½-inch thick rectangle.
    3. Refrigerate the bars for 1 hour or longer.
    4. Cut into nine bars.
    Notes
    Chocolate Chips Option: For a bigger chocolate hit, you can fold ¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips (we like minis in bars) into the dough once mixed.
