No-Bake Rocky Road Energy Snack Bar
A snack that's sweet and salty, with texture and the perfect afternoon snack for some energy
Ingredients
- 2 oz cocoa powder (or healthy cacao powder)
- 2 oz natural peanut butter, creamy
- 1 oz shredded coconut
- 1 oz pretzels, broken small
- 2 oz nuts (almonds, peanuts, pine nuts) and/or seeds
- 4 oz melted chocolate
- 1 oz gummy bears (optional), marshmallow or healthier dried fruits
- 2 oz almond flour
Instructions
- Add a baking sheet where the sides will come over the deeper baking pan so you can easily pull out. Use a pan at least 2 inches deep (e.g. a bread loaf pan).
- Add a layer of almond flour for the base (or a dry powder like cocoa to absorb the more wet ingredients to come).
- Pile a layer of the salty ingredients (nuts, seeds, pretzels, etc.). Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter randomly. You can leave looking rustic (like mud in nature) or smear in as another layer with a knife/offset spatula.
- Pour melted chocolate.
- Add some of the sweet ingredients (shredded coconut, gummy bears, dried fruits etc.) before the chocolate melts. Reserve some of the colorful sweets for the visible top later.
- Add more salty and zhugh ingredients you want to see popping out of the bar.
- When you're happy with your bar, refrigerate until set at least 20 minutes.
- Pull out of the fridge, break or cut into rectangles or pieces. Enjoy! Store in fridge so the chocolate remains solid.
