These chocolate bars are amazing. They are made from a few clean ingredients, have no sugar other than what’s in the dates, and are packed with clean energy and protein.
I have become addicted to these bars as they are perfect for that chocolate craving when trying to kick that sugar habit. I’ve been experimenting and making different versions of these bars. These are definitely a clear winner. Top them with crushed walnuts to make them.
Enjoy!

These are delicious and great source of protein. I love having these on my hikes. Just the right amount of sweetness to curve an afternoon craving too. ???
