One of my favourite treats are the Nakd bars, they’re so scrummy especially as they’re made from just fruit and nuts, looking at the packet last time I had one, I realised they’d be pretty straightforward to recreate at home. Because the fruit gives these a high sugar content, I made them into smaller balls rather than a bar, one of these with my tea in the afternoon is a yummy treat without giving too much sugar!
100g dates
30g raisins
60g almonds
1 tsp cocoa powder
Grated zest of one orange
1 tbsp orange juice
These are as simple as putting everything in your blender, and pulsing until combined and the nuts are broken into small pieces. Mine took 2-3 minutes. I then rolled teaspoonfulls into balls, you could pat the mixture into a baking tray and cut into bars if you prefer.
I keep mine in the fridge {if they’re on the side they’ll last five mintues!} I’m planning on making another batch this week and changing the orange for some peppermint. Let me know if you try these!
