Hi Theresa!! Thanks so much for the kind words about the site. Hmm, I’m not sure what the problem could be… I used a VitaMix blender. One thing you can try is adding more dates or some almond butter, because both of those are sticky and are great for binding. Another idea is that you may not have processed them for long enough. It takes a surprisingly long time sometimes!! I hope they are salvageable for you!

You’re brownie larabars look SO fudgy and delicious! Mine came out crumbly. The mixture never turned paste-like. I’m using an 11-cup Cuisinart Food Processor. What type of processor are you using to make your larabars? Please help.

Hi Katrina! Hmm, very interesting. I am surprised that even after freezing overnight they are still so squishy. The only thing I can think of is that maybe your food processor or blender was not quite strong enough? I suggest adding some honey or almond butter to stick them together more and give them more consistency. Regardless, even if they are pretty squishy they probably still taste delicious!

When i saw these, i knew i HAD to try them. So last night i did! I did everything the recipe said: blended dates with walnuts and cacao powder, and even added a bit of vanilla extract. I put them into muffin tins and left them for an hour and they were still really squishy. So i left them in the freezer overnight and today, they are still super squishy 🙁 I’m not sure what i did wrong, and i was wondering if you could help me?
Thanks so much!

Alexis, I could not agree more. I hate when people get down on Valentines Day… there’s nothing negative about expressing our love for the people around us and making lots of yummy chocolate treats. Let me know what you think of the recipes! So glad to have you reading! Xo
