Chocolate Cookie Bars

It’s taking all of my strength these days to minimize my sugar intake. To satisfy my sweet tooth I’ve been on the hunt for recipes that take care of that hankering and that’s where this great recipe inspired by Sakara comes in.

It uses one of my favorite ingredients — date caramel, which is deeply satisfying, rich and satisfying.
