Ingredients
-
Craisins, 1 cup
Almonds, 1/2 cup
Walnuts, 1/2 cup
Pecans, 1/2 cup
Dark Chocolate, 1/2 cup
Salt, 1/8 tsp
Vanilla extract, 1 tsp
Directions
1. Put the dates into a food processor and process until dates become a thick paste. It's likely that this paste will form a ball, which is fine. Once the dates have reached a paste-like consistency, remove them from the processor and set aside (breaking up the ball, if necessary).
2. Add the almonds and pecans to the food processor and pulse until they are chopped finely. You can put them right back into the same processor without cleaning it- you're about to mix all ingredients in the next step anyway.
3. Add all the ingredients to the food processor, including the date paste. Pulse until well combined.
4. Pour out the contents of the food processor onto some plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using the plastic wrap to cover the mixture (it's very sticky), form it into one large ball. Using a baking pan or other square mold, press the mixture into a large square, keeping it about an inch thick.
5. Refrigerate for an hour or so before cutting.
Enjoy!
