Ingredients

1/4 cup Almond Flour1 tablespoon Honey6 Dates1/4 cup Dried Cherries3/4 cup mixed nuts1/2 bar Extra Dark Chocolate

1. Place chocolate in a glass dish, preferably one that is flat so you can roll the bars in the chocolate. Place dish in pan of hot water (low heat). Water should come up about half way on edges of bowl. Melt chocolate but be sure not to burn the chocolate. Stir often.

3. Combine all ingredients except the chocolate. Best to mix by hand, blend together well.

4. Mold into 6 small bars by hand (Tip: if mixture isn't sticking together, add more honey or blended dates to the batch). Roll the bars in the bowl of melted chocolate to cover.

5. Place on a cookie sheet (or sheet of tin foil for easy removal and clean up) and place in refrigerator until hard.

(6. Optional - Remove glass bowl from water bath. After bowl cools down slightly, lick chocolate bowl clean!)

Tip: Add a little more dates than what the recipe states. You will find that all the ingredients will bind together better.

Tip 2: Add a little peanut or almond butter for even better binding of ingredients.

Tip 3: Freeze bars for about 5 or 10 minutes before adding chocolate. They will be eas - 5/26/16

These sound good, except for the chocolate. I wonder, can you leave the chocolate out? It doesn't appear to be used to hold anything together. - 6/19/12
