Healthy Chewy Chocolate Cherry Bars Recipe

2/3 cup		Dried Cherries, halved
3 Tbsp		Cocoa Powder, unsweetened
1 cup		Puffed Millet
1 cup		Rolled Oats
1/3 cup		Honey
1/2 cup		Milk
1/2 cup		Peanut Butter, natural
1/2 tsp		Vanilla extract
1/2 cup		Hemp Seeds, raw, unshelled
1/3 cup		Dried Cherries for topping (optional)
		Grape Seed Oil, to oil an 8 by 8 inch baking pan

Directions

In a large microwave safe mixing bowl, add the cocoa powder, milk, peanut butter and honey.
Microwave for 40 seconds. Stir well and microwave for longer as needed for the mixture to be easily mixed together.
Mix the vanilla into the contents of the mixing bowl.
Add the puffed millet, rolled oats, and dried cherries.
Oil a 8 by 8 inch baking dish and put aside.
Taste a spoonful of the mixture. When it's at about room temperature, mix in the hemp seeds.
Press the mixture into the oiled baking dish.
Sprinkle the rest of the dried cherries evenly on top of the dish, pressing them into the mix a little bit.
Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight or until the mixture has chilled enough to cut.
Cut into 8 bars. Freeze the bars in an airtight container.
