These homemade hemp seed bars are the ultimate no bake dessert. They consist of a chewy date and nut crust and a rich, fudgy chocolate topping. This hemp bar recipe is paleo, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free.
I'm really not much of a meal-prepper. However, when it comes to prepping healthy desserts and snacks I'm all for it!
These hemp seed bars have made a frequent appearance in my kitchen. They have a chewy crust made with dates, almonds, coconut and hemp seeds, that's topped with a creamy fudge topping.
I love them because they're super easy to make and you can easily mix and match the ingredients. For instance, swap pecans for almonds or use homemade sunflower seed butter in place of the almond butter.
