Easy Larabar bites based on the Chocolate Chip Cherry Torte flavor! Indulge in your sweet tooth with this naturally sweetened and whole ingredient treat!

I originally posted this recipe way back in 2016, but decided to give this Larabar recipe a refresh with some new pictures and push it back to the top of your feed because they are oh so good.

There are many things that I love about Larabars:

Made with whole ingredients – only nuts, unsweetened fruit and spices!
Each bar contains 9 ingredients or less!!
Minimally processed!!!

But what good is all of that if they don’t taste great. Right!? Well I am happy to tell you that my take on the Chocolate Chip Cherry Torte flavors tastes DANG good.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY LARABAR BITES

These bites come together in no time at all and have quickly become my favorite pre-workout and afternoon snack!

Let’s chat about the ingredients that make this homemade Larabar recipe my new fave snack:

Dates – Dates are essential in this recipe because they work as a binder, but also have a great sweetness with a low glycemic index. WIN.

Nuts (cashews and almonds) – Nuts serve as the base of this recipe. I opted for the same nuts present in the original Larabar. Plus they offer a great source of healthy fat!

Dried cherries – Again you need dried cherries if you are making cherry Larabar bites and my favorite place to pick them up is Trader Joe’s.

Chocolate Chips – Chocolate is key for these bites! I eliminate dairy whenever I can, so I always buy the Enjoy Life dairy-free chips!

Salt – Because salty-sweet treats are everything.

In addition to the minimal ingredient list, all you need is a food processor or high powdered blender to whip these bites up! They are a simple sweet treat with an even easier recipe!

Place dates in a bowl with warm water, soak for at least 15 minutes to soften.
Place almonds and cashews in a food processor and pulse until the nuts are finely ground, resembling a flour.
Drain dates from the water and place into the bowl of the food processor along with the dried cherries and salt. Pulse to combine, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add in the chocolate chips and pulse a few times. You want the chips to break down somewhat, but not completely.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop mixture into hands and form into balls.
If adding the chocolate drizzle, melt chocolate chips in the microwave with a little coconut oil until melted. Drizzle on Larabar bites and sprinkle with sea salt.
Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set. And store in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat.
