With my desire to recreate Raisinets and make an energy snack for my aunt, these delicious morsels pack all the goodness of chocolate covered raisins while boasting the nutrition of energy bars! Dates and raisins provide more than enough sweetness to counter the bitterness of the cacao powder, while hemp protein powder and hemp hearts pack a serious energy punch. You can go ahead and eat these without the chocolate coating and extra raisins and walnuts, but that little extra step takes them over the top. Because I used a coconut oil based chocolate to coat these bars they have to be kept in the freezer, otherwise they will melt. But seriously, if you have ever had a frozen Snickers bar you know how much better it is. And with summer right around the corner, snacking on this cool candy will seem more than ok :)
