We all love a good nakd bar don’t we. They are quick, convenient, healthy little snacks readily available to most of us but did you know that it is so simple and easy to make your own? They taste even better than the handy supermarket snack too! All you need is a food processor, some medjool dates (you can find them in the fruit and veg section of most supermarkets) and your favourite nuts and dried fruit.
Here are my favourite homemade nakd bar recipes:
1. Pecan Pie
2. Pina Colada
3. Cranberry Pistachio
4. Mango 
5. Cherry
6. Ginger Warrior – AKA Ginger & Apricot
7.Cashew Cookie
Helpful Tip: Medjool dates come in different sizes, some are drier than others so when you are making the bars, keep adding medjool dates until the mixture sticks together when pressed between your finger and thumb.
I LOVE your comments! Leave me a comment below and let me know your favourite Nakd bar flavour.

Ooooo more nakd bar creations can you do the pecan pie one next?
Duh just clicked the link and that’s the first one! I’m not on top form at the moment!
Haha! Its a super yummy one!
That sounds a-ma-zing!! Might have to try these for my snacks for work next week….. 🙂 thank you!
I was looking at the nakd bars earlier they sound yummy
Hi, I’m not a fan of dates or any kind dried fruit, can the dates be made into a sort of smooth paste in a blender so there aren’t any bits before making the bars?
They are really smooth in the bars, they blend up really well 🙂
These are so yummy! Made them all the time before I gave up sugar! Soooooo much better than the naked bars which, weirdly, kick off my IBS!!!
Any alternative method for those of us that don’t have a food processor?
I’ve never tried them without a food processor, will look into it though Amanda!
Hello. You can either buy pre chopped nuts (expensive!) or I’d be tempted to either manually chop them with a knife or slam them in a strong freezer bag and go to town with the rolling pin. You could de stone the dates and use a fork to mash them up – then get your hands in there and knead it up. I find fresher dates are best. Our local green grocer sells them by weight from a big box. Good luck…
Would a blender work?
Kelly Sutton fancy making some of these? X
Cannot wait for this one !! Xx
Look forward to it, pecan pie is a total winner on our house
Ahh brilliant!!

Do these work out cheaper than buying them? Has anyone done the maths?
I buy my stuff from lidls, mixed nuts and dates, prob about £10- £15 for ingredients as I make a large batch, I make 30 bars from mine. They are bigger and have more nuts in them. I just use lidls mixed nuts and lidls dates at the higher end mine are 50p a bar
I think it definitely depends on where you get your nuts and dates from, but I would say that they definitely could work out cheaper.

Bossed them already
Claire Dadswell thought you might like these xx
Kirsty Forester we were just talking about these, now you can make your own.
Hi, they look great! How long do they general last before going off?
Hey,
How long do these keep for? can you freeze them?
Ooo love these, my faves are the chocolate delight and chocolate crunch, any recipes for these coming soon?!
Can dried figs be used in these types of bars?
Hiya, I haven’t ever tried but I would imagine that they wouldnt work quite the same. The medjool dates are very thick and sticky inside, but maybe a mixture of the two would be ok?
I live in Canada and the rhubarb custard flavour isn’t available (except ordering online which is expensive) any chance of a recipe for these? 🙂
I see your page needs some unique & fresh articles.
Writing manually is time consuming, but there is solution for this hard task.
Just search for; Miftolo’s tools rewriter
I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining,
and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few people are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my hunt for something
regarding this.
Hi, I wondered if there was any way to make the bars less sticky? Yesterday I made a bunch of bars, but when I take them out of the freezer and take them on the go, they’re all sticky and difficult to eat. Does anyone have any tips for this?
