Mary Berry Energy Bars

One of my favourite snacks to prepare are energy balls and energy bars. These are a little different than the ones I’m used to preparing with a base of Medjool dates as in the case of these cocoa energy balls.

These cereal bars use two popular ingredients: dehydrated cranberries and coconut! Both cranberries and coconut help in binding the ingredients of energy bars similar to dates helping us to prepare very compact sweet bites for a quick healthy snack!
