CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE ENERGY BARS
If you compare these chocolate energy bars to similar fruit/nut bars sold at the store, I think they taste better, are nutritionally superior, and probably cheaper to make at home. The only problem is they look so good it takes your brain a millisecond to process that they're not going to taste like the fudge brownies they resemble.

Steps:
- Place cashews, almonds, coconut, dates, cocoa, coconut oil, vanilla, cold coffee, cayenne and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on and off to start. Process about 1 minute; check to ensure mixture is sticky and moist enough to stick together. Add more coffee if needed. Continue to process until mixture becomes a chunky mass.
- Line a baking pan with plastic wrap. Scoop mixture into pan. Press down with a spatula until mixture is even. Place a layer of plastic wrap on the surface and smooth again with your hands.
- Refrigerate until cold and firm, 2 or 3 hours.
- Remove from the pan and unwrap. Cut into bars of your preferred size. Store in a zip top back in the refrigerator.

[email protected]I love the idea of these energy bars, but I found them to be a bit too dry. I think I would have preferred them with more wet ingredients, like applesauce or yogurt.

[email protected]These energy bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less honey or maple syrup.

[email protected]These energy bars are the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The chocolate chips and sea salt add the perfect touch. I love that they are also gluten-free and vegan, so I can enjoy them guilt-free.
