Chocolate Flax Energy Bar

• 1- 1/2 cup Raw Cashews
• 1 cup Pitted Dates, Chopped
• 1/2 cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
• 1/2 cups Coconut Flour
• 1/2 cups Almond Butter
• 1/2 cups Maple Syrup (grade B)
• 2 Tablespoons Ground Flax Seeds
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (70% Or Higher Cacao)
• 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil

1. In a food processor, grind the raw cashews to a powder.
2. Add the chopped dates, shredded coconut, coconut flour, almond butter, maple syrup, flax seeds, and vanilla.
3. Pulse until a dough is formed, being careful not to over-mix (the dates should be in small pieces, not ground into a flour).
4. Line a Pyrex with parchment paper and form the dough into a rectangular bar 1 inch thick.
5. Refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
6. To prepare the sauce, combine the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a glass or stainless steel bowl and set over a pot of simmering water.
7. Once the chocolate has melted, remove from heat.
8. The hot chocolate can be poured directly over the cool bars.
9. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to set.
