Raw, and Grain Free, Date and Nut Bars

Tom and I are always on the go and frequently need to pack enough food for the whole day. I thought I'd give these a whirl.



1 cup dates
1 cup nuts (your choice)

Optional:
Honey
Cocoa powder
Other dried fruits
Salt to taste
Spices to taste
Coconut (personally I dislike Coconut)

Here's what I did:

1 cup Dates
1 cup Walnuts
1 Tablespoon Honey (I found I needed it to get everything to bind)

Combine everything together in a food processor and blend until smooth.

I took 3/4 of the mixture and smashed it into a square dish and popped it in the fridge. Then I added a smattering of Dried Cranberries and a couple cubes of Crystallized Ginger and pulsed again.

I wish I had done that to the whole thing it was so unbelievably good.
