Ingredients
1 cup whole almonds, toasted
1 cup pepitas
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup chopped, pitted Medjool dates
Instructions
WRAP a 9 × 5-in. loaf pan with overhanging plastic.
WHIRL almonds in a food processor, scraping down sides if needed, until a ball starts to form, about 4 min. Add pepitas, cranberries and dates. Whirl until well combined, 2 to 3 more min. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
REMOVE from pan and cut into bars. Keep refrigerated up to 2 weeks.
