Double Chocolate Cookie Dough Balls

I have been experimenting with a couple of different Lara Bar recipes as of late. I started tweaking them, changing out this ingredient for that ingredient switching sweeteners, adding extra ingredients until this last bath where I got them adjusted perfectly to my sweet tooth liking.

In fact I think they taste more like cookie dough than they do Lara bars now and yet they are sweetened with just a touch of maple syrup and a few chocolate chips (which you could omit if you want to , or replace with carob chips for an even healthier indulgence). Far less sugar, and empty calories than one would find in real cookie dough.

I prefer rolling them into balls, but you could take a smaller pan and squish them into a bar.

I like placing the balls on a cookie sheet and then putting the in the freezer for one hour. I then put them all in a ziploc bag in the freezer and either pop them in my mouth frozen. You could also store them in your fridge if you prefer.

Each one is about 2 bites worth each and is right around 150 calories, and are extremely yummy, and healthy!
