My good friend Faith hosted an essential oil class for me in Tucson and served these delicious and nourishing cocoa bars afterward. They were yummy and I knew my kids would love them so I asked her for the recipe. She was happy to share it, not only for my family but for you, my readers as well!

Faith’s Nourishing Cocoa Bars

• 8 big dates (Costco has them)
• 8 squares 90% dark chocolate (“Lindt” brand or 3 oz of another brand)
• 2 C raw cashews (unsalted)
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1/4 unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup cashew butter
• 1 to 2 drops Peppermint essential oil (Optional)

Make sure all the pits are out of your dates. Faith says, be sure to stick the pits in your mouth and enjoy the yummy taste of the dates.

Blend all ingredients in a food processor.
Pour and spread on waxed paper in a 9″x13″ pan.
Put in the fridge and slice.

Faith lives with her husband and five beautiful children in Tucson, AZ. She enjoys making healthy, yummy foods for her family. Thanks for contributing, Faith!
