Pour your nuts and your ‘add-ins’ into a food processor and process until they are chopped, but not decimated.

Add in your PITTED dates and process. Depending upon how sticky they are, you’ll probably need between 8 and 12 of them (1 to 1-1/2 cups). You want them to glue everything together. If the mixture is crumbly, add more dates.

Press into an 8×8 pan and chill for a bit in the fridge.

Cut into about 8 bars.

I store them individually in snack-sized baggies in the fridge.
