Healthy Energy Bars

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Organic Peanuts
• 1 Cup dried Organic Apricots

Preparation:

1. Place the nuts, dates and apricots in a food processor. Pulse a few times just to break them up.
2. Separate the dates if they start to clump together. Scrape the edges of the bowl as needed and continue processing for another 1-2 minutes, until the ingredients clump together and gather into a ball.
3. Lay a piece of parchment paper on your surface about the size of a baking sheet.
4. Press the dough with your hands until it forms a thick square, roughly 8*8 in size.
5. Use a rolling pin to get it flatted out and make nice and smooth.
6. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour or overnight.
7. Unwrap the chilled power bar dough and transfer to a cutting board.
8. Cut into 8 large bars or 16 small squares, as desired.
9. Wrap each bar in plastic wrap or wax paper.
