A Recipe from Nancy

Nancy made some delightful healthy treats and would like to share the recipe with us.  I would like to share the actual Larabars she made, but I imagine her family has already made them history.  They sound super good. 

She found the recipe on this food blog.  This is a great site with lots of recipes and tips for using unprocessed and healthy foods. 

• 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
• 1 cup raw cashews
• ¼ cup peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon water

1. Combine dates, cashews, peanut butter and water in a food processor and puree until mixture starts to stick together. Add a little more water if necessary to help mixture come together.
2. Pick up date mixture and using your hands work to squeeze it together into one big clump. Mash it down on a cutting board or sheet of wax paper to form into one even rectangle shape using the sides of your hands (or a knife) to make the edges straight.
3. Slice into 12 even squares. For best results store in the fridge, although bars can be kept at room temperature.
