Fruit & Nut Candy Bars
If you’ve been following me for awhile now, you know that I am a SUCKER for fruit and nut mix. You can’t put a bag of it in front of me without it disappearing in .2 seconds. I’d almost consider this skill?
so, with no surprise, I had to take this obsession into account when creating some treats recently. What could be better than a decadent treat including some fruit & nut mix!? Keep scrolling for one of my favorite recipes yet!
Ingredients:
shortbread base:
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 scoop protein (or omit)
1/4 cup medjool dates (more as needed to form dough)
pinch of sea salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
Caramel fruit & nut filling:
1/2 cup nut butter of choice
1/3 cup maple syrup
pinch of sea salt & vanilla
mix ins: nuts & seeds, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, dried fruit, cinnamon & spices, etc.
topping:
1 1/2 chocolate bars of choice
2 tbsp coconut oil
How to:
Combine all shortbread ingredients in a food processor and process until a dough forms.
press into a lined load tin and set aside.
To form the center, combine all ingredients besides mix-ins until smooth. Then, stir in whatever you feel like adding. Spread evenly over shortbread crust.
Place in the freezer to set. Once hardened, remove & cut into slices, bites, or whatever size you desire.
melt the chocolate & coconut oil together until smooth. Dip each bar/bite until it’s fully covered & place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue with each piece. Then, place back in the freezer until chocolate has set.
enjoy!
