The holidays are right around the corner, so now is the time to start testing out recipes for the season. It isn’t always the best idea to make a new recipe for the first time when serving said recipe to guests, so make it a point to practice first.
The holidays are notorious for unhealthy foods, so why not change that? Carrington Farms shares a delicious-yet-healthy snack recipe for Crispy Cocoa Bars that are sure to put a smile on your face.

The bars are perfect to make at home and take on-to-go as a holiday travel snack or can be served as a healthy alternative to brownies or other chocolatey snacks at your holiday gatherings this year.
Carrington Crispy Cocoa Bar
Ingredients:
- 4 cups Crispy Brown Rice cereal
- 1 cup mini choc chips
- 1/3 cup Carrington Farms Flax/Chia blend
- 1/8 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted tahini
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup blue agave
- 1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
· In a large mixing bowl, combine cereal, chips, flax/chia and cocoa. Mix well and set aside.
· In a small saucepan, add tahini, brown sugar, and blue agave. Mix together well. Warm on medium heat, stirring frequently until slight bubbles appear. Remove from heat. Add vanilla to the mixture and stir until mixed well.
· Slowly pour small amounts of the mixture into the mixing bowl with dry ingredients. You must continue to mix the mixtures together to coat the dry ingredients completely. Repeat this step until the saucepan is emptied and the rice cereal mixture is completely coated
· Pour into an aluminum cake pan (9×13 inch) which has been coated with a non-stick spray. Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, pat down the mixture completely. Let it sit until slightly cooled. Cut into 12-16 squares. Refrigerate when cooled. Enjoy!
