Development of novel chocolate energy bar by using nuts

The aim of this research was to develop a novel chocolate “energy” bar supplying sufficient energy to the body. The ingredients like Dates (Phoenix dactylifera), Oats (Avena Sativa), Raisin, Rice Crispies, Nuts (Almonds, Cashew Nut), Honey (multiflora), chocolate (dark), seeds (sunflower and watermelon) were used to make this energy bar. Based on sensory analysis the developed chocolate “energy” bar containing 30% oats, 15% honey, 14% chocolate, 10% nuts, 10% seeds, 8% dates, 8% rice crispies and 5% raisin is highly recommended. The novel chocolate “energy” bar was highly acceptable with desirable sensory quality by all consumers as compared to commercial energy bar.
