Date and Nut Bars
If you’re anything like me, you love stocking your freezer with a chocolate treat to end the day with. Date and nut bars are the perfect post-dinner snack made with a variety of different nuts and medjool dates.
I topped them with melted dark chocolate and flakey salt for the ultimate sweet & salty flavor.

My pantry is always filled with different nuts and nut butters. When I get to the end of the bags, I love making a homemade trail mix or some type of fruit & nut bar.
This recipe basically came about as a way to clear out my pantry, and it’s been my go-to sweet treat for the last coupe of weeks.
