Inspired by Plant-Powered's bars take on Lara bars, I made these versions;
Top left - 3 cups dried dates + 2 cups raw cashews = 12 x 45 g. bars
Bottom - 1 .5 cups dried dates + 1 cup pecans + 1 tbsp raw cocoa powder = 8 x 35 g. bars
Top right - 2 cups raw blanched peanuts + 2 cups dried dates + 1/2 cup dried cranberries = 11 x 40 g.bars
Put half the nuts in the food processor and chop, then add the fruit, process a bit more, then add the rest of the nuts. Continue to process until well blended. It will appear crumbly, but will hold its shape when pressed into muffin tins (lined with paper liner cups). Refrigerate overnight and store in a covered container. All of these versions calculate out to around 150 calories per piece.

I like your idea of cocoa powder.
Now I'm thinking: what about cacao bean nibs! They're crunchy and chocolate-y.
