Tips for making Chocolate Beet Dandelion Bars:

Learn more about health benefits + foraging for and preparing dandelions HERE.

Uncomfortable with foraging for dandelions? You can omit or simply dump the contents of one dandelion root tea bag instead.

On a sugar-free diet? Replace the maple syrup with this sugar-free sweetener instead.

On a nut-free diet? Replace the walnuts with more seeds.

If you do not like or have access to golden raisins, you can replace them with any dried fruit of your choice.

Due to the unique nature of coconut flour, I do not recommend replacing it with anything else.

These bars taste great straight out of the freezer! Store in airtight containers in the freezer for up to one month.
