Venus Bars
Gluten-free, dairy-free, naturally sweetened, and vegan!
As long-time fans of Mars bars, we had to make a healthy version, and we needed a good name, so we went for Venus Bars! These are delicious!! Three layers - a cashew/almond base, caramel center (almond butter and dates), and chocolate topping. The middle is soft, just like a Mars, but much healthier and tastier.
Makes 10-12 bars.

A food processor, a 4x8 (loaf) pan, a small pot, parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
