Almond EnJOY Bars

Almond EnJOY Bars

(This week’s Brown Bag Secret Ingredient: Almonds)

(Makes 4)

8-10 deglet noor or medjool dates (soaked in unsweetened almond milk for 1 hour)

1/2 cup almonds

1/4 cup walnuts

1/2 cup shredded coconut

2 tbsp hemp seeds

1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips or sugar-free

1. Add dates, almonds, walnuts, coconut, and hemp seeds to food processor or blender.  Blend until paste forms.  Feel free to leave a few chunks depending on your preference.  I like the CHUNKY stuff 😀
2. Line small rectangular container or muffin pan with wax paper or paper cups.  (Divide mixture into four portions if using muffin pan).
3. Pour mixture into bowl and mix in chocolate chips with spoon or by hand.  This step could be fun, but messy.
4. Divide mixture into four portions or pour all mixture into small container.
5. Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cutting.
6. Add chocolate drizzle on top if you just have to have more chocolate in your life.
7. ENJOY!
