These gluten-free energy bars are a nutrient-dense snack built around the natural sweetness of Medjool dates and the richness of dark chocolate. Softened dates are blended into a nutty base with roasted cashews, whole almonds, smooth peanut butter, cocoa powder, and a touch of coconut oil. After chilling, they’re coated in melted dark chocolate, topped with coconut flakes, and finished with a pinch of salt.
