Sweet & Salty Chocolate Bars for Healthy Hormones

To a food processor, add the dates, raw almonds, raw walnuts, ground flaxseed, cacao powder, chocolate protein powder (if using), maca powder, and maple syrup. Blend everything. While the food processor is running, slowly add up to 1/3 cup of water in 1 tablespoon increments until a formable, sticky dough forms. Once this consistency is achieved, transfer the mixture to a parchment paper-lined tupperware or loaf pan and press it down evenly. Place in the fridge to set for a few minutes.

For the topping, melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons tahini in the microwave until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chilled bars. Place back in the fridge to set until hardened. Once hardened, slice into bars and enjoy!
