Here at Skinny & Co., we like to keep things pure and raw! While this can sometimes seem easier said than done, here is a fantastic recipe to get that chocolate fix without sacrificing nutritional value. So, when you are craving a delicious and nutritious paleo treat, try these phenomenal Raw Chocolate Almond Bars.
Ingredients
For the cookie
- ½ cup + 4 tablespoons agave
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1½ teaspoon salt
- 8-10 cups raw almonds, coarsely ground
For the chocolate
- 1½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup agave
- 1 cup honey
- 3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons Skinny Coconut Oil
Directions
- To make the crave-worthy cookie portion of the Raw Chocolate Almond Bars, mix the first five ingredients.
- Immediately pour the wet mixture into the ground almonds, and mix thoroughly.
- Divide the mixture into halves. Press each half into 8-by-10 inch pre-sprayed pans, and set them aside.
- After you have pressed the cookie portion of the Raw Chocolate Almond Bars into two individual pans, make the chocolate portion by combining all the ingredients for the chocolate portion.
- Divide the chocolate mixture in half, and then pour the chocolate over each cookie portion.
- Freeze immediately. For best results, give this delicious treat a few hours to fully set and harden before enjoying with friends, family, or as a not-so-guilty pleasure!
