No-Bake Chocolate, Fruit & Nut Bars
You can use any combination of fruit and nuts but we used these inexpensive (and beloved) versions below.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (the kind with only peanuts and salt as ingredients)
- 3/4 cup unsalted peanuts
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper so there’s enough extending over the edges to make it easy to lift the whole thing out later on.
- Put all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until it comes together. Ours was chunky but slightly sticky.
- Make a rectangle about 8×9 inches and 1-2 inches thick. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the “dough” down.
- Wrap it up and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove from fridge and slice into bars.
- Store in the fridge in an air-tight container or freeze, wrapped in the parchment and inside a zip-top bag.
