Chocolate Topped Nut Bars

Ingredients

• *Nuts Bars
• 14-15 Medjool dates, pitted
• 1 cup pecans
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 3 tbsp hemp seeds
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• *Chocolate Topping
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted (if needed, vegan)
• 1 tbsp unrefined coconut oil

Directions

1. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with unbleached parchment paper.
2. Add the Nut Bar ingredients to a food processor. Process until the dates and nuts and seeds are broken down to a finely chopped mixture.
3. Remove the mixture from the processor and add it to the 9x5 loaf pan. Press it down, set aside. (If the nut mixture is crumbly and falling apart, add 1-2 tbsp of water, this will help it stick together. It should resemble a sticky paste-like texture)
4. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (I placed a glass bowl on top of a pot of boiling water). Mix it well. Pour the melted chocolate over the nut mix.
5. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes before eating.
6. May store in an airtight container, in the freezer, for 3 weeks (though I doubt they will last that long)
7. Remove from the freezer just before eating and enjoy cold (my preference) or room temperature.
