Blueberry and Nut Chocolate Bars
These bars are the perfect nutritious treat, balancing healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants for a snack that's both satisfying and nourishing. They're naturally sweetened by antioxidant-rich blueberries and get an extra boost from $>75\%$ dark chocolate (a bonus "plant point"!). Enjoy one as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or a delicious dessert.
