chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: cocoa powder

Cocoa powder is less expensive and still provides chocolate flavor.

Heat a pan on low heat.

Add sunflower seeds to the pan.

Add pumpkin seeds to the pan.

Add flax seeds to the pan.

Add pistachios to the pan.

Add cashews to the pan.

Add almonds to the pan.

Add rolled oats to the pan.

Dry roast all the nuts and seeds together for about 1-2 minutes until the color changes slightly and the flax seeds start popping.

Remove the mixture from the pan and let it cool on a plate.

In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of ghee.

Add chopped dates and cranberries to the pan.

Cook on low heat for 2 minutes until the dates soften and separate.

Remove the mixture from the pan and let it cool.

In a jar, add the dry roasted nuts and seeds mixture and coarsely grind it.

Grind until the mixture is not a fine powder; some nuts should still be visible.

In the same jar, add the softened dates and blend into a paste.

Combine the nut mixture with the date paste in a bowl.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of honey to the mixture (honey is optional).

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until combined.

Prepare a baking tray lined with butter paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Press the mixture firmly into the tray to set.

If desired, add half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder for extra flavor.

If the mixture is not binding well, add more honey.

Once mixed, transfer half of the mixture into the tray and press it down firmly.

Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, ensuring it doesn't touch the water directly.

Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed mixture in the tray.

Set the tray in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.

After 30 minutes, remove from the fridge and cut into bars.
