Raw Buckwheat & Chocolate Bars

Crunchy, a little bit sweet, chocolatey and peanut-buttery. Basically a little taste of heaven. Sprouted buckwheat is a great grain-free, gluten-free alternative to oats or rice crisps, and it’s rich with enzymes, protein and bioflavonoids. Perfect for a midday snack or even breakfast on the fly. Kids will love this recipe too. Enjoy!
