CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE ENERGY BARS
If you compare these chocolate energy bars to similar fruit/nut bars sold at the store, I think they taste better, are nutritionally superior, and probably cheaper to make at home. The only problem is they look so good it takes your brain a millisecond to process that they're not going to taste like the fudge brownies they resemble.

Steps:
- Place cashews, almonds, coconut, dates, cocoa, coconut oil, vanilla, cold coffee, cayenne and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on and off to start. Process about 1 minute; check to ensure mixture is sticky and moist enough to stick together. Add more coffee if needed. Continue to process until mixture becomes a chunky mass.
- Line a baking pan with plastic wrap. Scoop mixture into pan. Press down with a spatula until mixture is even. Place a layer of plastic wrap on the surface and smooth again with your hands.
- Refrigerate until cold and firm, 2 or 3 hours.
- Remove from the pan and unwrap. Cut into bars of your preferred size. Store in a zip top back in the refrigerator.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen blueberries, be sure to thaw them before adding them to the mixture.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the blueberries with a fork or potato masher.
- Be sure to press the mixture firmly into the pan to prevent the bars from crumbling.
- If you want chewier bars, bake them for a few minutes longer.
- Feel free to add other mix-ins to the bars, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
