Power Bars

   
    My friend was staying at our house one time and for dessert she made these Power Bars. Oh My Goodness! They are amazing! They taste like Reese's peanut butter cups (except much healthier and a whole bunch better). I had the recipe on hand and we made them during our 21 days Raw. Now, the recipe calls for Peanut butter and maple syrup (both of which are cooked). So the first time we made them we took raw peanuts that we had, ground them up in the food processor, and just used that. In place of the syrup we used honey and maple flavoring. They were pretty good, but not really the same. If you are looking to go completely Raw, you could do it that way, but I just made it how the recipe calls for and had it as a treat.


Ingredients

Bottom
1/3 C. Almond meal
1/2 C. Coconut Oil
2 T. Honey
1/2 C. Peanut butter

Top
3 T. Cocoa powder
1 T Honey
1/2 C. Coconut oil
1/4 C. Syrup

Directions
Blend "bottom" ingredients in food processor until smooth. Pour into a lightly greased 9x13 pan and chill till solid. Once it is solid, prepare the "top" and pour that on. Chill and serve.
