Energy Snack Recipe: No Bake Date Bars.

These Tahini Date Bars are so easy and quick to prepare, I try to keep a little stash handy for anytime we need that little energy boost until the next meal (pro tip, they freeze really well!).

Tahini Date Bars
20 pitted dates*
2 cups toasted almonds
1/4 cup tahini paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 oz melted chocolate (I prefer a 70% dark chocolate)

• In a food processor using the S blade process the almonds to form a paste.
• Add the dates, tahini, and salt and process until a sticky crumbly batter is formed, do not over process since this will cause the batter to become oily
• Transfer the batter to an 8" square pan and flatten it out evenly.
• Allow to chill in the refrigerator for 3-5 hrs.
• Once chilled cut it into bars and drizzle with melted chocolate.

 *Your dates should be soft, if it’s not so fresh then soak it in boiling water for a few minutes before adding to the food processor.
