"This is from the blog Nourished and Nurtured. My family loves these and I always have some in the fridge. You need to keep in the fridge bcz the coconut will soften them up if left out for too long. These are similar to the expensive Lara Bars. Cook time is refrigeration time. I did adjust the recipe a bit."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Coarsely chop nuts in food processor; then add all other ingredients and process until smooth (this takes awhile in mine; after a little while a clump forms but just let it keep whirring until it gets all smooth).
Step 2
Grease either an 8X8 square baking dish or a couple mini muffin tins with coconut oil. (Also, you can put parchment paper in, with the edges hanging over to make it easier to get out, instead of greasing.)
Step 3
Place into your dish, smooth out, and refrigerate to harden. These always tastes much better once cold for some reason. Store in the refrigerator.
