HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP LARABARS.


one of my favorite snacks are peanut butter chocolate chip larabars!


they are incredibly tasty and filling,
but also gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan,
non-gmo, and full of vitamins. 

they aren't cheap, though.
so let's make our own, shall we?

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups dried pitted dates
(visually inspect to make sure you didn't get any pits!)

1 cup peanuts
(healthier to use raw unsalted, but roasted & salted work too)

1/2 cup of chocolate chips
(healthiest to use a broken up dark chocolate bar)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. place all ingredients in your food processor.

2. process for 1-3 minutes until combined.

3. add a few sprinkles of water if you want it stickier,
and process for a few more seconds.

4. press firmly into a large rectangle shape on cutting board.
cut into 10-12 bars.

5. wrap each bar in plastic wrap,
or place in reusable snack bags.
store in refrigerator.

you can change out the fruit, nut, and topping to make any flavor of larabars!
i can't wait to experiment with other flavors.

  1. This is such a good idea. Larabars are SO expensive but we always have to have them in our pantry. I think I might give it a shot. Thanks!
