You can use the nuts as it is in the recipe or toast it. If toasting the nuts, place them in a baking sheet and toast for about 10 minutes in a 350 F oven. Remove from the oven and let it cool down to room temperature before continuing to the recipe.

Once the nuts have cooled down, gather all the ingredients and place them in the food processor bowl.

Pulse the ingredients to get them to combine. The dates might start to clump up, but make sure you separate them. Keep pulsing until the ingredients are all chopped down to small pieces.

Now run the food processor for about 2 minutes to combine them together.

Run the food processor for another minute or so until they come together as a ball.

Place a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap on the work surface and drop the mixture on to it. Pat them to form a neat square and then wrap it up and chill overnight or at least for couple of hours.

Remove it from the refrigerator and cut them into desired size pieces.

Wrap them in plastic wrap or wax wrap and refrigerate. They can be eaten straight out of the refrigerator. They can also be placed outside. If placed outside the texture will be a little soft and chewy. The bars can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
