[@shirleyarizaga2961]

1 tablespoon raw unrefined coconut oil, plus more for brushing pan 1 3/4 cups walnut pieces 2 cups chopped dates 1/4 cup natural peanut butter 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 4 ounces semisweet chocolate Flaky sea salt

[@hulyajulesturk8470]

1 1/2 cups walnuts

[@marywillis8372]

​@hulyajulesturk8470 And she said dark chocolate, which is healthy.

[@UniMagik]

Gotta say that I absolutely love that Shira scraped the bowls clean (except the dark chocolate!). Typically, people don't do that and it irks me deeply because of the waste.

[@YunJaeGDLuv]

Jarvis omg... I know what you mean. Makes me so angry

[@carolannetitmus8878]

@@YunJaeGDLuv She probably doesn't ike to show you she licks the bowl...grumpy perhaps you need some chocolate.

[@marymercywanja7036]

You gotta leave some chocolate just for licking later 😋

[@ACS402010]

Same here.

[@amug3536]

Jarvis good observation noble thought... Yes people wasting food left right n center (sometimes tossing edible food into garbage on camera just to demonstrate just irritates me too)

[@sharonolsen6579]

These do look positively delicious !!! Hint: You could draw an 8" square on the OTHER side of the parchment then just fit your mixture to that.. save measuring and re-measuring .. : ]

[@latmcb9863]

Great idea - thanks for sharing!!

[@lapsedluddite3381]

...or you could use your 8" square baking pan lined with parchment paper ...

[@judinelson2978]

I made these and they were delicious. I used almond butter instead of peanut butter. Thanx for the healthy treat.

@@tasfiatahsin4019 I did keep it in the fridge. It didn't last long because we ate them. I imagine at least a week you can refrigete them

[@joycefitzgerel1632]

Thanks for your efforts to help those of us without the slightest idea how to create healthy sweets. This looks really scrumptious. And easy enough for someone like myself to do. Thanks again. Looking forward to more delicious recipes.

[@cosmosbeyond431]

if anybody is going to make this, these are absolutely delicious,if you dont like dates or walnuts, the flavors disappear trust me! if anybody hates walnuts and dates, thats me and I did not even know the flavors would disappear! these bars taste like a cheese cake except with chocolate and with none of that cream cheese taste but anyways, these are so so good, the crust is nice and crispy and moist, where as the chocolate makes it creamy and oh I cant even explain but these are so amazing

[@jumpingjellyfish9596]

I started looking at vids on Natural Greek Yoghurt and ended up here.... so glad I did!

[@thesocialintrovertchronicles]

The problem is that if I make these, I just eat the whole of it even though my intention was a weeks serving 😩

[@joannaluca8495]

Lolita Zavala 😂😂😂

[@megan2176]

Same!! I might make them, but keep them in the freezer to make them a bit more difficult to eat, so they'll last longer!! ;)

I agree

[@thesocialintrovertchronicles]

I bought these kind of bars a couple of times and decided to ever do that again... But after these recipes I can eat them... They are homemade natural cheap healthy ingredients 😊❤️ thank you so much

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Fast forward to 2024, and these ingredients are no longer cheap - check @marijones5661's comment - they cost $22.00 now!

[@pattyhackett1]

Into the chocolate filling I would add some heavy cream to compliment the chocolate for a rich filling. I would also add pecans in the recipe instead of walnuts for a rich nutty flavor.

[@SuperTuffgirl]

I made these...they were easy and delicious! My husband devoured them.

[@ruthcline5465]

Great looking treat! Will definitely try it, I agree with Jarvis, scraping the bowl and food processor clean is a good cooking habit. Why feed the drain or dish washer, silicone spatulas are my favorite tools in the kitchen, hot or cold.

[@melinegarcia4991]

I just made these, they are so good and so easy to make, thanks for the recipe !

[@sukhmanicambridge]

Perfect!! Making this tomorrow. If you know how to make chocolate you can use your own chocolate topping instead of melting a bought bar. Even more awesome. Thanks for this; love it 😍

[@tanelise4673]

Great video! To the point without a lot of excess chatter! Can’t wait to try these

Thank you I tried this recipe it was great and considering the unhealthy ingredients that comes into a regular chocolate chip cookie from the stores this is great🙋🏽‍♀️💖

[@janetbeatrice9505]

Oh wow, I think I can actually do this! As long as I can do it in the Vitamix and not in a food processor. They look so good, they don't use weird ingredients, and it looks like they really are easy (I hate it when they say it's easy but it isn't). And it's gluten free (so am I) and there's not too much processed sugar. I'm going to try it.

[@marielovefood605]

Looks delicious & no guilt to eat that dark chocolate bar love the nuts .

[@LOLCoolJ]

4:13 "Measure Twice, Cut Once" 2:57 "Eyeball it."

Measure to 8" since the pan is 4", eye-ball cutting in half to 4".. easy to eye ball cutting in half.. good luck eye-balling 8" accurately

[@samferguson1645]

Looks so amazing, am going to try this, love all those ingredients.

[@leaperrins8373]

I currently have a health condition which makes food preparation difficult. Think I'm going to make the base, cut into thicker squares, break up up a dark choc bar into squares, and just place a one on top to save energy melting it, and dishes lol. It's only for me, it will be fine! Thanks for the recipe.

those walnuts are one of fave kind of nuts. its so healthy

[@ezfitchick]

Don't have enough walnuts, so going to add then to sunflower seeds, using sunflower butter and the dates and see what happens....when at the store next definitely getting more walnuts

[@taniaduffy6241]

Hi this recipe looks so good Im adding a few recipes to a to-do list for iftar but it would be really helpful if you could note down the recipe in grams please as you know cups come in all different shapes and sizes and in the video your ingredients are sitting in a bowl. Thanks for the recipe again 😊

[@hardymonty]

hit that with a little almond butter drizzle... and I'm sold!!!

[@balogh89]

I calculated the nutritient values of the recipe (it was interesting to find a "1 cup walnut to grams" calculator...). I found that.. well, yes, this is healthy as there is no added sugar, but this is a pure calorie-bomb. In 100 grams of finished product there is: 457,72 kcal; 8,5 gr protein; 44,43 gr carbs; 30,8 gr fat. If you cut it into 11 pieces as the video shown, you'll have a ~61 gr portion, meaning it's 279,21 kcal; 5,18 gr protein; 27,1 gr carbs; 18,79 gr fat. If you want to eat ONE piece between breakfast and lunch to get a bit of energy until noon, it's completely fine, but I wouldn't recommend at all to eat more than one portion daily (with a higher dosing it won't be that healthy), except if you're an active physical worker, working out, or you're doing a long distance running/biking session (over 21.1km). But keep moderation considered in that case too. Thanks for the recipe, looks yummy by the way! :-)

[@bellenesatan]

it's dessert. real food has calories, and this is a delightful treat to have after dinner or as a slice for breakfast if you're in a hurry without ruining your blood sugar control or creating inflammation in your body. But REAL food will always have calories.

[@marianneyag4106]

oh my gosh, this looks so delicious, thank you for sharing :) xx

[@briannelson2866]

I do wish weights had been given for everything as I'm not sure if mine were a bit of a bust because I didn't have the right proportion of dates? Also, I think chilling the chocolate in the first layer is a mistake as this then doesn't allow the second layer to bind to it and when I cut the bars the next morning after chilling them, the two layers came apart basically. They were still tasty, but it was more like "toss some crumble into my mouth instead of biting into a bar". :)

[@aleksk4762]

I feel like it'd be so much more efficient if you just put everything in the small.loaf pan initially versus doing it individually. You don't get the layers but you get the time. But if it works it works!

This would have been real fragrant if you add a black walnuts on my God they make any pastry just tastes delightful and they're healthy they help clean out parasites in your system

[@daveshangar6820]

Ok So you want to see the ingredients clumping around the center blade. What do you add if they aren't clumping? I made this once and tried adding more peanut butter which I believe made it taste too much like peanut butter. I also learned from no experience that dark chocolate bars do not melt in the microwave. You have to add moisture to it in order to get it to come out like chocolate syrup. Hers was coming out like syrup and mine had to be spread like some kind of paste.
