Mmmm... Do I ever have a treat for you today!!

See these glorious crunchy bars of chocolate? Aren't they just beckoning you to take a bite? I know that mine are calling me from all the way in the freezer, where I safely tucked them away to keep me from having all at once.

Now, guess what? These are actually kind of good for you. I found the recipe in the just-released cookbook "Make it Paleo II". So yes, these fruit and nut chocolate bars are even compliant with the paleo diet.

Make it Paleo IIis written by Bill and Hayley (they are the couple behind Primal Palate), with Hayley's sister Caitlin.

Make it Paleo Has Lots of Great Surprises

Together they have written a beautiful cookbook that everyone can enjoy - even if you aren't following a grain-free diet. I am not. Still, I find so much inspiration for cooking delicious family dinners, making homemade condiments (processed-be-gone) and healthier baking.

There are over 175 creative recipes in Make it Paleo IIand each one comes with a tantalizing image (drool alert).

The recipes are divided into categories from proteins (meats, poultry & eggs, seafood) to plants, drinks, savory & sweet things, and condiments plus some basics and projects (like homemade spice blends, ghee...).

Dietary Restrictions Are Included

Additionally, each recipe comes with notes for special dietary restrictions. By just looking below the title, you'll know if a recipe is dairy-free, nut-free, egg-free or night-shade free. And even handier, there is achart in the back for an even quicker overview.

Also in the back, you can find a standard index, but also a visual index with a thumbnail picture for each recipe. How neat is that?

Bill, Hayley and Caitlin were so thorough with writing Make it Paleo II. I really appreciated the first part of the book, where they not only explain the basics of the paleo diet, but also talk about the ingredients, kitchen tools and cooking techniques used for making the recipes in this book.

The Recipe

Being an incurable sweet tooth, I was of course drawn to the desserts section first. These chocolate bars grabbed my attention right away. I mean, seriously, chocolate bars that are paleo, no-bake and sweetened with just dates? An absolute winner in my books.

The hardest part was waiting for one hour for the bars to set in the fridge 😉

Hi Regina! This recipe looks gorgeous! This cookbook looks amazing with tons of exciting recipes! I think I would really love to try the Orange Chicken, Honey Sesame Chicken Wings , Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, the Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bars (of course!), and the Thai Fried Chicken with Tangy Mango Sauce. All of these recipes sound wonderful, I've tried making a few paleo recipes from other cookbooks and they've came out pretty nice but not as good as these recipes sound! Thanks so much for posting this recipe though! Definitely going to give it a try 🙂
