Chocolate-mint Snack Bars

Getting ready for the week ahead with some mint chocolate snack bars. I used to make these into balls but can't be bothered with the mess - bars are so quick and easy! I love anything mint chocolate but you can omit the mint if you're not keen.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup nuts of your choice (I used cashews and almonds today)

• 12 dates or 6 medjool dates

• 1/4 cup cacao powder + 1tbsp to taste

• 1 tbsp. peanut butter

• 1 tbsp. melted coconut oil

• 1/2 - 1 tsp. mint extract to taste (optional)

Method:

• Blend the nuts to a fine powder first, then blend in the dates until well combined.

• Add everything else and blend until the mixture starts to clump (you may need to add a tiny bit of water here - I used 1 tsp.)

• Line a baking dish with greaseproof paper and push the mixture down into the bottom to form a slab

• Pop in the freezer for 30 mins, then slice into 10 squares and keep in the fridge or freezer

Enjoy! x
