Start by pulsing your peanuts in the bowl of a food processor until they’re pretty finely ground.Next, crack out a whole lotta dates. I used three packages of these sunsweet dates. This brand is great for this recipe because they are so soft and pitted. Throw those dates into the food processor with the peanutsalong with some chocolate chips and sea salt.Pulse the mixture until all the ingredients are together in one large mass. The dates should be unrecognizable and there should be itty bitty chocolate and peanut pieces throughout all the ‘dough’. Press the mixture into a lined 9×9 baking dish and freeze for 30 minutes. Remove using the plastic wrap and cut into 10 even bars. The freezing helps the bars cut nicely.Wrap each bar up individually and store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.I throw all mine into a freezer bag and keep them in my fridge for up to 2 weeks–except they never seem to last that long 🙂

Give these a whirl! 4 ingredients, nothing too crazy or strange and they’re healthy! Love that. Enjoy, friends!

1x2x3x

• 2/3 cup dry roasted unsalted peanuts
• 24 oz pitted dates I use the sunmaid brand
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• pinch sea salt

Instructions

 

• Place peanuts into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to chop into fine pieces without turning into a paste. Add in dates, chocolate chips and salt. Continue pulsing until one large mass comes together in the bowl. Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper or plastic wrap and press date mixture evenly into the dish. Dip your fingers into water to prevent sticking. Place into freezer for 30 minutes.
• Remove completely from pan using excess plastic wrap as help and cut into 10 even pieces. Wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
