Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 12 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup chopped roasted unsalted cashews
1 1/2 cups crispy brown-rice cereal
3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2/3 cup chopped pitted dates
2/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
3/4 cup cashew butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 ounces melted bittersweet chocolate

Steps:

  • First, coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with parchment; spray parchment. In a bowl, combine cashews, crispy brown-rice cereal, rolled oats, dates, and coconut. In a small saucepan, stir together cashew butter, butter, and honey over medium heat until butter melts and mixture is smooth. Pour over dry mixture, stirring to coat evenly. Press into pan. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Remove from pan, drizzle with melted chocolate, and refrigerate again until firm, about 5 minutes. Cut into bars. Store in a cool place, covered, up to 1 week.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my bars turned out really dry. I'll try adding more liquid next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed these bars. The cashews and dates are the perfect balance for the coconut.

The bars were a bit crumbly, but they still tasted good.

These energy bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the cashews in these bars. They turned out great!
