This is probably one of the easiest recipes. I love the no-bake (always love no-bake!) and the obvious deliciousness of it. So there’s that. Enjoy!! xo
So many nuts!!! These look perfect!!!
Thanks Rebecca!! Give me alll the nuts. Wait…
Hello! I made them but after you get them out of the freezer they begin kind of melt , is this what you expect? Or are the supposed to keep out of the freezer?
Hi Lili,
Yes, they are definitely melty and you should store them in the fridge when you’re not eating them! 🙂
Can you store in the freezer? If no, how long will they last in the fridge?
Hi Elissa!
Yes, you can store in the freezer. I think they’d last in the fridge for a really long time – definitely a few weeks! There’s nothing really in them that go bad, so I’d say as long as your nut butter and coconut butter stay good, I think the bars would stay good in the fridge! xo
OH. EMMM. GEEEE! These look to die for!
You’re so cute!! Eeee, they’re sooo yummy!!
Im going to try it with cashew butter.
YES!! I’m obsessed with cashew butter!! Let me know how it goes!! xo
I have been looking for a yummy snack bar to make and these look amazing! My daughter and I will make them over the weekend. And on the lavender oil – heck yes! If you are using a 100% pure oil you can rub a little on the bottoms of your feet or diffuse it to you to give you an extra little sleepy boost (;
Yay! Let me know how the bars go! I really love them. Thanks for the oil on the feet tip! I’ve been doing it the past few nights and feel like there’s definitely been a difference! xo
I’ve just started putting it on my feet and feel like it really makes a difference. I’ll try it on my chest too! I’m from the mindset that the more the better! haha
