Notes: These no guilt bars are a great way to start your day. Chocolaty, filling and satisfying all rolled into one. Whole chia seeds add a nutritional punch and crunch to these chocolate treats. Don't be afraid of the chia seeds- hey if you don't like them you can always use them for a chia pet/head!
Tip - you can replace the dates with figs which taste just as great!
