Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Lärabar

I’m not feeling much for words today ( I think my brain has decided to really relax on Spring Break.)  So instead I leave you with an awesome “recipe” that can be adapted to any flavor you like.  I love Lärabars but if you love them as much as I do, they get really expensive.  I figured it had to be easy to make but I never thought twice about it until Jen (from Use Real Butter) posted the amounts and instructions.

With summer fast approaching, I’m getting really excited to be outdoors!  I love these for hikes because there’s no fake ingredients and no false sugar!  I made up a pan and cut it into 14 bars (of which I froze 10 for future use- with all this warm weather in Illinois, I feel some hikes coming on!)

Happy Friday Everyone!

    I love larabars!! So excited to have this recipe now.

  • Nicole, RD

    Love that I ran across this! I love Larabars and recommend them to my patients and clients all the time!

    • naturallyella

      Hooray! I can imagine that they would be good since there isn’t really any bad stuff in them!

    Let me just tell you how you just made my day! I love Larrabars and the fact that there’s only 2-4 ingredients in it. Because of this fact, I keep telling myself that these bars shouldn’t be too hard to make, but I just never tried it. This is my moment of inspiration. Thanks for showing us how doable this is. Your pictures are commanding me to do this!

      Sometimes all it takes is a little inspiration! I kept telling myself the same thing (and now I have a freezer full of delicious homemade bars!)

    look great

    This looks like something I can do. Some ‘bars’ have way too many ingredients. These looks perfect and easy!

      I know! I hate when I read recipes and the list seems to go on and on!

    Larabars are my go-to long run snack and you’re right…they DEFINITELY get expensive. Love this homemade version!

    • naturallyella

      I’d hate to imagine how much I spend on them! I mean, dates and hazelnuts are a bit expensive but it’s so worth it!

  • http://fooddoodles.com/ Heidi @ Food Doodles

    Mmmm, I love Larabars!! Especially ones with chocolate :D I’ll definitely be trying these!

    • naturallyella

      I really love that the dates sweeten the cocoa powder enough that there doesn’t have to be extra sugar!

    Totally understand the lack of word-dom. It’s super rainy and gloomy over here and I’m feeling a very quiet weekend at home. I’m excited for all things outdoors, too! I always love a good homemade bar.

    • naturallyella

      I’m glad someone understands! There are just some days I stare at the screen and I think “this isn’t going to happen!”

  • Melissa N

    I just made these! Thanks for the post! I looked at the usemorebutter.com website too. I made 2 batches. One batch had dried apples and cinnamon, toasted almonds and dates. The second batch was dates, peanuts, salt and chopped dark chocolate. They are soooo good! I am so excited. My kids love breakfast bars but I don’t buy them often because they are sooo unhealthy. But I saw this post this morning, went right over to the health store and bought the best dates I could find and made 2 batches. I am so excited about these. Thank you SOOOO much for the post Erin. I only discoverd your blog about 2 weeks ago, but I have been on here repeatedly and just love it! YAY!

    Holy cow, these look incredible! I love how simple the ingredients are, and yet they look so decadent when put together. Can’t wait to try this!

    I’ve been making variations of these for the husband and I over the past year. So simple, and we save money! Such a great, healthy snack.

  • Emily

    I attempted this recipe and actually burnt out the motor on my food processor trying to process the dates. I then chopped them by hand, after rinsing them in a little water to make them easier to manage. However, they then didn’t stick together in the pan. Do you have any suggestions?
