Homemade chocolate hazelnut larabar
This tasty homemade chocolate hazelnut larabar is healthy, easy to make, and absolutely delicious!
Servings: 8 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1 1/4 cup dried dates
- 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp water (as needed to make the dough clump together, add half tbsp at a time)
Instructions
- Put the almonds and hazelnuts in a food processor and pulse a few times.
- Add all of the other ingredients other than the water to the food processor and blend on high for 90 seconds.
- Check the consistency of the larabar mixture. It should start to clump together into a ball. If the consistency of the mixture is still loose start adding water 1/2 a tbsp at a time then blending for 10 seconds. Add up to 2 tbsp water, as much as is necessary to get the mixture to clump together.
- Line a 8 inch x 6 inch food storage container with saran wrap then pour the larabar mixture into the container. Press the mixture down into the container until it is in a compact, flat layer. If you do not have this exact size, any container with similar dimensions will work.
- Put the container with the larabar mixture in the refrigerator and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Use a butter knife to cut the larabar mixture into evenly sized bars. Wrap each individual bar with saran wrap if you plan to store them for a few days or longer so that the bars do not dry out.
