Chewy Snack Bars
Running out of ideas — or time — to make snacks for your kids? Make a batch of these to keep on hand.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews, almonds, or other nut of choice
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/3 cup nut butter of choice, such as almond, cashew, or sunflower butter
- 1 tbs. water
Directions
STEP 1
Pulse the nuts in a food processor until they are in small pieces.
STEP 2
Add the dates and nut butter to the food processor and blend together, scraping the sides down as needed.
STEP 3
Add the water and continue blending. The mixture should stick together and be pliable — add another 1/2 tablespoon or more of water as needed to get to the desired consistency.
STEP 4
Grease an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with avocado or coconut oil spray. Scrape the mixture into the pan.
STEP 5
Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then cut the bars into 8 squares. Keep refrigerated.
