Paleo Bars.

Now, I haven't tried these Paleo Bars, but since they listed the ingredients I thought I'd give them a whirl.

After a couple of tries, this is what I came up with.  
Hope you love them, I think they're awesome! :)

Paleo Bars.
Ingredients:
2 cups mixed nuts (eg. cashews, macadamias, walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts)
1 cup dates (medjool or dried)
1/4 cup cacao powder
2 Tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions:
  • Process nuts in food processor until very fine.
  • Into the processor, put the dates, either option 1 or 2 below: 
  1. If using dried dates, put them in a microwave bowl with 1/2 cup hot water and microwave for 3 minutes.  Drain off the excess water before adding to the nuts.  
  2. If using medjool dates, take out the pits
    and add them to the processor.
  • Also add the cacao powder and coconut oil.
  • Process until it forms a sticky, fudgey dough. (If using medjool dates, add a Tablespoon of water if needed.
  •  Line a square 20cm (8 inch) pan with baking paper.Spread mixture evenly into the pan and place into the fridge to set.  (Put in the freezer if in a hurry.)
  • When set, cut into pieces and enjoy.
  • Store in the fridge.
