Chocolate Cherry Almond Snack Bars

So what are these magical snack bars?! Glad you asked. Snack bars are my version of KIND bars. A little homemade copycat made from real, whole ingredients. I don’t know about you, but I used to live off of store-bought granola bars and those apple cinnamon nutri-grain bars. It wasn’t until I began to actually read and care about the ingredient list that I stopped buying them completely.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup (114g) honey or brown rice syrup1
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup (40g) almond meal2
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon (15g) almond butter
• 2 cups (280g) Diamond of California whole almonds, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup (60g) dried cherries, roughly chopped
• 1/3 cup (58g) mini chocolate chips

Special Equipment

• Food processor or small blender to easily chop the almonds or make the almond meal (here's the own I own and love!)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C). Line an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper with enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the bars from the pan. Set aside.
2. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix the honey, vanilla, almond meal, salt, and almond butter together until combined. Fold in the almonds, cherries, and chocolate chips until combined.
