Sweet Cocoa Chia Bars | Commercial Dehydrators

Chia seeds are full of omega-3 fatty acids, which have be found to support brain health. They are a great source of fiber and have been linked to improving blood pressure in diabetics and lowering cholesterol. These cocoa crisps are a great way to get the health benefits of chia seeds in a raw chocolate bar. When spreading mixture, use one tray for a thicker cookie/cracker and 2 trays for a thinner consistency.
