Healthier Copycat Kudos Bars (vegan, gluten-free, no bake)
These healthier copycat kudos bars are date sweetened, contain no added sugar, vegan, gluten-free, no bake and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates packed, about 12-13 large dates
- 1 cup sprouted rice crisps or any regular rice crisps/cereal
- 3/4 cup sprouted rolled oats or regular rolled oats
- 3 tbsp canned full fat coconut cream or water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Pink salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- A couple handfuls crispy chocolate candy
Instructions
- First, grab your food processor and add your Medjool dates, canned coconut cream and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Remove the food processor blade and stir in the rice crisps, oats and salt. Mix well.
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and add the mixture. Use your hands to press down firmly so that the mixture is in an even layer.
- Freeze for about 10-15 minutes or until mixture is firm enough to stay together but soft enough to slice. Slice mixture into 8 bars. Set aside.
- Next, melt your chocolate chips. Dip the bottom of each bar into the melted chocolate and place on a plate with parchment paper.
- After the bottom of each bar is dipped, top with crispy chocolate candy and drizzle the extra melted chocolate on top. Make sure to add the drizzle on top of the candy pieces so it sticks to the bars.
- Freeze until chocolate has hardened, about 10 minutes.
- These healthier copycat kudos bars are best stored covered in the fridge. Enjoy!
