I bought some dates last week at the store hoping to use them in a more dessert-like recipe since they are sweet and a great sugar alternative. I came across this recipe at allrecipes.com and was grateful to have these little squares on hand to curb my sweet tooth. Another great thing about this recipe is that it is a raw recipe and for those of you that know about the raw food world you know raw is best :) So eat up on these raw little squares and enjoy!
Raw Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares
1 cup dates, chopped
3/4 cup natural or organic peanut butter
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut shreds
3 tablespoons pure cocoa powder
Directions
Place the dates, peanut butter, coconut, and cocoa powder into a food processor. Cover, and blend until smooth, about 4 minutes. The mixture will be very sticky.
Press the mixture into a loaf pan lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Remove the chilled mixture from the pan and slice into little squares. Keep refrigerated. Enjoy!
