Awesome Fruit and Nut Bars
- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- 30 mins chilling
- Easy
- Makes 12-16
Ingredients
- 200g dates
- 70g raisins
- 170g cashew nuts
- 2 tbs cocoa powder
- 2 tsp vanilla flavouring
Method
- STEP 1Place all ingredients in food processor, and process until the ingredients are all combined – the mix should be sticky, there should be no obvious lumps of fruit or nuts. Depending on your food processor this can take a while – mine took a minute or so to process to the required level.
- STEP 2Line a tray or dish with cling film, and scrape the mix into the dish. Press down hard with the back of a spatula to flatten the top. The mix should be about 1 inch/2cm in height.
- STEP 3Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cutting into 12 bars. The bars can be wrapped individually, kept in airtight container (separated with cling film if necessary) in the fridge, or even frozen, if you find you can’t stop yourself eating them!
