Raw Mars Bars (DF, GF, Grain-free)
I got so inspired while traveling through Australia. Their food was so fresh, healthy and so many places offered tons of raw desserts. These Mars Bars are inspired from Serotonin Dealer in Melbourne!
Ingredients
Base
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 3 tbsp hemp seeds (optional-- but so nutritious! 10g of plant protein per 3 tbsp. Feel free to add ground flaxseed in place)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp filtered water
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch sea salt
Filling
- 3/4 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup filtered water
- 1 tsp Sun Potion (completely optional! I used their Macuna Pruriens dopamine bean. Feel free to exclude or use an alternative adaptogenic powder/nutrient-dense powder for added benefits. Original ingredient list calls for lucuma)
Chocolate Covering
- 3/4 chocolate bar, melted (I used Eating Evolved Dark Chocolate bar)
- 1 tsp melted coconut oil
- Pinch sea salt
Instructions
-
In a food processor, pulse together base ingredients until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
-
Press into base of parchment paper covered loaf tin and freeze for 10 minutes while you make filling.
-
In same food processor, pulse together filling ingredients. Pour over the top of the chilled base and freeze once more for about 1-2 hours, or until firm.
-
Using a knife, cut into rectangles. Melt chocolate bar + coconut oil in a medium bowl, then dip frozen bars until fully covered. Place on parchment paper and back into the freezer to harden.
-
Sprinkle sea salt over the top & ENJOY! Makes a loaf tin’s worth, about 8-10 bars. Store in freezer.
Whoa, girl. These blew my mind. Super easy to make and so tasty! Thank you for sharing!!!
I just had one myself! 😉
So glad you love them!
Would you mind posting the nutritional information for this recipe? Thank you!
Unfortunately, my approach isn’t to focus on the numbers, but instead, the nutrients! <3
Oh man these were incredible !
So glad you loved!! xx
Just made these for the first time – subbed walnuts for the cashews because they were on hand! Curious as to how long they last in the freezer?! SO GOOD, great recipe!!! Xoxo
I’m so glad you loved them!!! 🙂 One of my favorites, for sure. They definitely last a good while in the freezer if they’re stored in an airtight container. I would say up to 2 months.
So, so good! Keep these as a snack in my fridge and am bringing to all the potlucks this season!
Hi there – I wanted to make these while I am on holiday with my family but don’t think the place we have hired has a freezer. Will the base still solidify in the fridge? Or does it need a freezer.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, they need a freezer! 🙁
Did you use raw almonds/cashews or roasted?
You could honestly do either 🙂 I believe I just did raw.
Wow. This was absolutely fabulous. I made a double batch last week and everyone who tried it loved it.
Thanks
