Cocoa Mole
07/29/09
I bought a Larabar the other day for my husband and I to hold us until dinner. I like these bars because they are made from whole foods without preservatives and the like. The flavor of mine was Cocoa Mole and I loved it. I read the ingredients, and I thought, I could so make these. And I did!
One package of date puree (I buy mine at a greek store in the neighborhood.)
1 cup Almond flour or ground almonds
1/2 cups walnuts finely chopped
one teaspoon cinnamon
one teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
In a double boiler, heat your date puree until soft. Add 3 tablespoons of hot water and “whip up” your puree with your spatula. Add almond powder, cocoa powder and spices and mix. Add walnuts and mix. Press mixture into a loaf pan that has been oiled with coconut oil. Placed in the freezer for 30 minutes for easy cutting and removal from pan. Remove form the freezer and slice into bars. Wrap individually for use as snacks!
