No Bake Seedy Chocolate Energy Bars
I like to think that by now I have a recipe for pretty much anything you are looking for on my site
Then a client asked for a healthy snack to put in her kid’s lunch box
It had to be nut-free and egg-free
Quick and easy to make
And preferably no baking involved, as she hates her oven
And predicts we are in for a pretty warm late Spring/Summer
(I think she may be right!)
I suggested this Three Seed Choc Bar
But apparently it was “too seedy” and her son doesn’t like dates!
another delicious no bake, nut free slice – except I love the ‘adult version’ of this with Brazil nuts and figs (included at the end of the recipe)
Okay, so I didn’t have a recipe that fit this entire brief
But now I do!
Ta da! A brilliant, filling, easy to make, no need to bake, nut free muesli or energy bar
What do you think?
I think I nailed it!
slightly crumbly but oh soooo delicious
