Another summer trip — this time to California!
Guess what that means?!
Healthy snacks for on-the-go! 🙂
After falling in love with my Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars, I knew it was time to explore a new flavor.
And what better flavor than chocolate.
Actually, make that german chocolate!
These delicious nutrient-packed goodies kept me energized and sane while switching multiple time zones, lugging baggage, and rushing to meetings.
Plus, they are a breeze to make, which really comes in handy when you are also frantically rummaging through your wardrobe and packing last minute.
Not that I would know anything about that! 😉
Needless to say, whether you are faced with a hectic day, or you just want a yummy snack at home, these nommy bars have you covered!
German Chocolate Bars
(Yields 6 bars)
- 1 1/2 cups pitted dates
- 1/2 cup raw pecans
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup raw cacao nibs (or dark chocolate chips, if you prefer)
- 1/4 cup pure, unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Place the mixture in zip-top baggies, or between two pieces of plastic wrap, and form into the shape of your choice — bars, squares, stars, hearts, bite-sized balls…you name it!

Yum! I just got done making them!
Yay! I’m so glad you liked them! I love how easy they are to make, too! 🙂
wow! so awesome! I had to 1/3 the recipe cause I was low on dates…. but these are delicious. More “tonya”-bar recipes please!!!
Yay!! I’m so, so happy you like them! That means so much! I will have to start experimenting with some new flavor combos. 🙂
Pecan Pie and Cherry Pie are 2 of my favorite Lara bars … OH and Cashew Cookie. They are so expensive, so I only buy them for a treat, but I’m so happy I can make my own 🙂
Ooooo, those all sound amazing! I will have to try my own versions ASAP!! I know exactly what you mean about the price, too — I was blown away by how easy they are to make!!
yea, I’m not sure I’ll ever buy one again! Thanks so much for the recipes.
