AIP Eat-More Bars

Today I have a special recipe for you. This recipe will remind you of your pre-AIP days because you are going to feel as if you are eating a Hershey Eat-More chocolate bar!

Growing up this was one of my favourite chocolate bars. I loved them so much that my mom developed a recipe to make them for us at home as a treat.

I don’t know about your house hold but at mine we got a treat once a week or more often if we were well-behaved, got a good mark on a assignment/exam etc.

Looking back, obviously those treats were far to often and full of ingredients I should have been limiting (I am looking at you sugar, butter, and chocolate).

So with my new found knowledge about treats, I have come up with this recipe for you that is AIP friendly.

It is made with dates so it is still very sweet and should be used as a once in awhile treat. They freeze great, so I would recommend cutting them into portions and freezing individually so you can pull one out of the freezer when you want a treat.

If you want to reduce the sugar content, these taste just as good without the icing.

A true eat-more bar doesn’t even have icing actually. But I thought it made these treats a little more decadent and chocolatey.

Another bonus is that these are no bake bars.

The hard part is waiting for them to set in the fridge before you eat them!

What chocolate bar do you miss the most? I’d love to hear from you! Maybe it can be re-created!
