Vegan Chocolate Coconut Bars – No Bake – Lara Bar Style

29 pitted dates (410 grams), 35 grams almonds (small handful), 25 grams walnuts (sprinkle of nuts), 3/4 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes (shredded, 68 grams), 20 grams/4 TB cocoa powder

1. Process dates in a food processor. Pulse to break them up.
2. Add nuts and pulse til those are broken up
3. Add cocoa powder & coconut flakes and processes a lot. I stopped and scrapped the sides down a few times. I kept processing til my “dough” was on the smoother side but you could go with a more chunky, nutty texture.
4. Remove from food processor. Lay out flat and refrigerate for a couple hours.
5. Cut into bars. Garnish with coconut flakes. ENJOY
