Loved this recipe! By any chance, do you know what the Nutrition Facts are for these bars? Thanks!
ReplyI made these Homemade No-Bake Energy Bars, placed them in the refrigerator for about 3-hours. After slicing them into bars they fell apart, like there was nothing holding them together, however they were very tasty. I processed the dates by them self before adding all the other ingredients. While I was processing the dates, I noticed they were fairly dry and not very sticky. I completed the recipe and they just fell apart while cutting them into bars. Did I use the wrong type of Dates??
Reply Show More CommentsBoy are these tasty! The nicest health bars I have ever eaten - like a popular peanut bar you can buy especially with dark chocolate chips! However I had the exact same issue with them falling apart even after pressing the mixture down hard and leaving them in fridge for 3 hours. So I put them back in blender with more peanut butter. Fifty per cent better. Really my blender could not cope with the dates or peanut butter - the mixture was just too stiff - so next time I will blend the dry ingredient
ReplySorry my last comment was cut short for some reason. I now soak the dates (and strain them) and combine the wet ingredients together before adding to the dry - they have never fallen apart since! I do not even have to use a processor - I just grind the oats and nuts first.
ReplyI soaked my dates first but that was not enough. I will try reprocessing with more peanut butter. Thanks Clare for your helpful tip
