Banana Chocolate Fudge Bars
If you know me, you know I LOVE sweets. Chocolate is what I indulge in at least once a week. I just have to. Honestly, my love for something sweet started when I was young. I am the youngest of 6 children. A "Brady Bunch" type of family....loving Parents, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles. Extremely blessed. After supper every night my parents always said, "who wants dessert?" Many weekends I spent baking with my Mom. She loved to bake homemade chocolate chip cookies and boy did she enjoy eating them too. Lol My passion for baking and cooking came from my Mom. She would be challenged by taking a recipe and changing it to make it more nutritious. I am thrilled to say she passed on her passion for cooking to me!
Here is my latest recipe. I hope you like it.
Serve with sliced bananas. OMG delicious!
BANANA CHOCOLATE FUDGE BARS
CRUST:
- ½ cup pitted medjool dates
- 1 cup mixed pecans, chopped hazelnuts and almonds
- ¼ cup raw cacao powder or carob powder(less expensive)
Fudge top layer:
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- ½ cup raw cacao powder or carob powder
- 4 tbsp almond butter
- 2 tbsp raw honey
- 1 stevia
Instructions
- Mix together all crust ingredients in food processor until well blended.
- Spread the mixture in a glass baking pan until evenly distributed.
- Mix together the fudge ingredients in the food processor until well blended.
- Spread the mixture on top of the crust.
- Place in freezer for about 30 minutes.
- sprinkle Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips on top(optional)
- Keep frozen or refrigerated.
Makes approximately 15 squares. I like to double the recipe and keep 3/4 of them in the freezer and take them out 1 at a time. Another little tip is to soak the dates in hot water for 3-4 minutes so they get soft before you blend them.
