Grizzly Bars
Rating (0 Rated)
These chewy bars are the perfect energy-packed antidotes! Stuff a couple in a backpack for a brisk hike in the woods or add them to your lunchbox for a mid-afternoon snack. Bacon fat acts as a natural preservative. Store at room temperature as well as in the fridge. But they’re so tasty; they won’t be around long enough to care. You will need a food processor or high-powered blender.

1 cup dry-roasted almonds, unsalted

1 cup dried cranberries

1 cup dried date pieces (look for them in the bulk bins)*

Directions

  1. Put all ingredients into a food processor.
  2. Blend at low speeds, pulsing, until you get a sticky mass that starts clumping together. The chop should be uniform in size.
  3. Pour the mixture onto a cutting board covered in parchment or wax paper. Press down and together to form a dense 7″ x 7″ square.
  4. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool for at least an hour.
  5. Once chilled, cut into 8 bars. To store, wrap individually in wax paper or plastic wrap for an easy grab ‘n go.

*NOTE: Date pieces available in the bulk department are a convenient way to add dates to a recipe without having to chop them. However, they are coated in flour to keep from clumping together. Substitute chopped whole pitted dates to make the recipe Paleo and gluten-free.
