No-Bake Date Nut Bars

Servings – 9 Prep Time – 10 Minutes Chill & Set Time – 40 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups dates, pitted

• 1/2 cup cashews - or your choice

• 1/2 cup dried Apricots

• 1/4 cup pumpkin or sunflower seeds, shelled

• 1/4 cup peanut butter, all-natural or a nut butter of your choice

• 1/2 cup coconut flakes

• 2 tablespoon cocoa powder, unsweetened

• 1/8 teaspoon salt
  

Directions:

Toss everything into a food processor and process until the mixture starts to go smooth and clump into a ball. The dates will be all chopped up but you’ll still have bits of nut.

Turn the mixture out into an 8 or 9 inch square dish lined with parchment paper. Use your hands to firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the dish.

Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Remove the bars from the pan and cut into pieces using a sharp knife.

Enjoy them cold or frozen.

You can even roll teaspoonfuls into balls, adding to a mini paper liner for easier individual servings.

Store in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer.
