Mmmhmmm!! Get in my belly!
Another great way to snack guilt free! This is a perfect 5 minute mixture for your Sunday week meal prep.
One bowl, whole ingredients, and great for a grab and go or the lunch box!
One thing I am realizing is there is a BIG difference when using 15 small dates versus 15 large dates. Always use large so the mixture is sticky enough.
I like to refrigerate these then cut them into 9 even squares wrapping them each individually with cling wrap and placing them in the freezer. This way I know I have a healthy snack to grab if I am late for work or packing a lunch. The bars will thaw and ready to eat when you get to your destination!
Best part, if you don’t eat it (which you will want to), you can re-freeze or refridgerate once you get back home.
These can live in the fridge for up to 1 month sealed and also ingredients can be substituted to your liking. Check out recipe notes below the recipe card and don’t forget to share with your friends!
