Ingredients

Scale

For the bars:

  • 1 cup (173g) packed pitted Medjool dates
  • ¼ cup (28g) raw walnuts
  • ¼ cup (28g) raw pecans halves
  • ½ cup (28g) shelled pistachios, divided
  • ¼ cup (21g) unsweetened finely shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
  • 1 tablespoon melted virgin coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup (30g) dried cranberries (or dried cherries or goji berries)
  • 1 tablespoon warm water, if necessary

For the topping:

  • 2 ounces dark chocolate bar (vegan, if desired)

To garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon shelled chopped pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon dried cranberries, cherries, or goji berries
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans
  • Maldon sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add dates, walnuts, pecans, only ¼ cup of pistachios to the bowl of a food processor. Process until chunky.
  2. Step 2: Next add in unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, cacao powder, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Process again until mixture is chunky and slightly clumping. If mixture is dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of warm water.
  3. Step 3: Next add in remaining ¼ cup pistachios and dried cranberries and pulse again a few times until pistachios are slightly chunky. Add mixture into an 8×4 inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper, pressing evenly towards the sides of the pan.
  4. Step 4: Add dark chocolate to a small saucepan and place over low heat until melted. You can also microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between until chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  5. Step 5: Pour over the bars, tilting pan so that the chocolate covers the bars evenly. Garnish the bars with 1 tablespoon each of chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans. Place bars in the freezer for 20-45 minutes to harden.
  6. Step 6: Once ready to serve, sprinkle with Maldon sea salt then cut into 8 squares. Store safely covered in the freezer for up to 1 month. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to use high-quality dark chocolate for a rich flavor.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite nuts and dried fruits.
  • For a sweeter option, you can use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
