Step 1

Line a 8 X 8 inch pan or something similar with a parchment paper. Keep aside.

Step 2

In a food processor, add nuts, dried fruits, and unsweetened shredded coconut and pulse. Pause every couple of minutes and scrape the sides using a spatula. The mix should look like a crumble.

Step 3

Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt and combine everything. The mix should feel soft and evenly mixed with rest of the ingredients.

Step 4

Transfer the mix to a prepared pan lined with parchment. Use a spatula to tightly pack everything then cover with foil or parchment paper. Place a couple of canned beans or tomatoes on top and leave the pan in the refrigerator for few hours.

Step 5

When ready, remove from the fridge and cut into desired shape/size using a sharp knife. The bars can be stored in an airtight container for 7-10 days.

Step 6

Alternatively, you can use the mix and form into energy balls/bites.
