Chocolate Covered Cashew Bars
These healthy, no-bake cashew bars are made with just simple pantry staples including dates, roasted cashews, and tahini. Coated in rich vegan chocolate and topped with toasted sesame seeds, they are chewy, salty, and incredibly satisfying treats that taste like a decadent caramel bar.
