Raw Candy Bars Recipe

Raw food and almost-raw food is most appealing to me during the summer months when turning on an oven sounds like anything but fun. And, although raw recipes usually require a few steps and a blender, they're usually pretty easy to whip together. These Raw Candy Bars are particularly fun for summer and healthily indulgent; a slightly sweet cashew filling is topped with raw caramel and ensconced in a raw chocolate sauce that hardens as it chills. Although your friends and family might be skeptical at first, when you pull these rich, nutty, chocolately bars from the freezer, everyone will be your friend. To see how I made them, check out my How to Make Raw Candy Bars tutorial.
