Vegan No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Bars
Equipment
- Blender or Food Processor
- Large Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 11-12 Medjool Dates should be around 200 g.
- 1/2 C. Peanut Butter natural
- 1/3 C. Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1/3 C. Vegan Chocolate Chips melted
Instructions
- Add the dates along with the peanut butter to the blender and blend until everything is combined evenly. This should end up being a sticky mixture. If your blender isn't very powerful, you might need to stop a few times to scrape down the sides.
- Add the cocoa powder and salt and blend again until everything is uniform.
- Once your batter is all combined, transfer to a lined tin and press it down tightly and evenly. I used a 8X8 inch tin.
- Freeze for about half an hour, then slice into 8-10 squares.
- Melt your chocolate chips in a microwaveable bowl and dip the top of each bar in the melted chocolate.
- Place on a plate or chopping board lined with parchment paper and place in fridge until the chocolate hardens.
- Enjoy! You can store these in the fridge for up to 5 days in an air tight container.
