No Bake Macadamia Bars

Makes 14 bars

Ingredients:

• 12 large medjool dates
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 3/4 cup macadamia nuts, lightly chopped
• 3/4 cup of oats
• 1/4 cup pistachios, lightly chopped
• Pinch salt
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate

Method:
1. Add the dates to a food processor and blend until they form a sticky ball then add the Almond Butter and maple syrup and mix again. It should be really soft and sticky but if it doesn’t seem sticky enough then add 1-2 tbsp of water and blend again (depends which dates and PB you use).

2. Add the date mixture to a bowl with the nuts, oats and salt then mix thoroughly (use your hands to get it mixed well).

3.Press down into a loaf tin (greased and lined) then put in the fridge whilst you melt the chocolate

4. Top with melted dark chocolate and a sprinkling of nuts and then refrigerate for at least an hour before cutting
