No Sugar Chocolate Cherry Bar

 With winter on its way, outdoor exercising is not an option to say fit. Instead I am trying to change some of our food habits. Watching how much sugar intake, more veggies and such. Here is a recipe for a raw bar with no sugar, NO SUGAR!!! Yep, just natural sugars. So start out with a cup of Almonds( we sprout ours which makes them even better for your body to digest)
 Blend those in a food processor.
 Next a cup of pitted Dates.
 I had to chop mine a little so that they would work in my chopper.

 Next a cup of Dried Cherries
 Blend those too!
 A 1/4 cup of Chocolate Chips
 Chop those up and add them to your mixture. If you have a large food processor, you can just throw everything in and chop chop!!!
 Now I forgot to get a picture but you need to put in 3 tablespoons of Coco Powder. Next a tablespoon of Coconut Oil( its a little brown cause I used the same tablespoon for my coco :)

 Next pour your mixture out onto the counter and knead it like you would bread dough. If it doesn't come together, just add a couple teaspoons of water( I had too :)
 Press it into an 8X8 pan, I did not use wax paper but if you want to get it out easier that's the route you're going to want to take.
 Put it into your freezer for 10 minutes or so. Let it warm up a little so that you can cut it with ease.
 And their you have it!!!!!!
It is delicious and yummy!!!! It went easily in one day, in my family. Make this and you can give your family a healthy and sugar free bar that everyone will love. Here's the recipe-
  • 1 cup almonds

  • 1 cup pitted dates (about 12 Medjool or 24 small dates)

  • 1 cup dried, organic cherries

  • 3 Tbs. raw cacao powder

  • 1/4 cup raw carob chips( Chocolate chips)

  • 1 Tbs. coconut oil

  • pinch of sea salt
