Shanibars

"This is an adaptation to an all-natural bar that is very popular, naturally yummie, and very versatile. It tastes like you are eating a candy bar but there is NO Sugar Added -- it's nature's candy!! You don't need sugar because it's already sweet! Quick and easy, great for snacking, a grab and go bar!! Kid-friendly too!! Raw and no baking, no cooking required!!"

Original Recipe Yield 6 bars
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup flaked coconut
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt (optional)

Directions

  1. Place the dates, peanut butter, coconut, cocoa powder and salt into a food processor. Cover, and blend until smooth, about 4 minutes. The mixture will be very sticky.
  2. Press the mixture into a loaf pan lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove the chilled mixture from the pan and slice into 6 bars. Wrap each bar in foil and refrigerate until serving.

Footnotes

  • Editor's Note
  • To be sure your bars are truly raw treats, look for raw cocoa powder at your specialty food store.
