Chocolate Raw Energy Bars

Ingredients

• 2 Cups (300g) Moist Medjool Dates, pitted and chopped
• 2 Cups (280g) Raw Cashew Nuts
• ½ Cup (60g) Raw Almond (without skin)
• ¾ Cup (75g) Cocoa Powder
• A pinch of sea salt
• 1 Cup (80g) Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
• 2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
• ~1 1/2 cups water (enough to make it nice and sticky without being wet)

Method

Combine chopped dates, cashews, almonds, cocoa powder, and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse and process all the ingredients together until the texture is coarse. Then add the shredded coconut, a quick pulse, and add the vanilla extract, a little water at a time until it reaches a sticky moist dough consistency. Scrape the dough mixture into the lined pan, press evenly with a rubber spatula, and chill for about an hour before serving.

NB original recipe listed much less water (more like 2-3 tbsp), but I found that didn't hold it together enough, and I prefer a more sticky texture.
