Ingredients
  • 1 cup pitted whole dates (about 12-13)
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp peanut butter I used creamy [see note]
  • 1/4 cup peanuts
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds


Instructions
1.       Add all ingredients to food processor and process until the ingredients break down and become a mostly cohesive mixture. You will still have little pieces of peanuts remaining, and the consistency of the mixture should hold together when you press it together.
2.       Line a rimmed dish with parchment paper and press mixture into it, leaving your desired thickness. I used only about half of an 8" x 8" baking dish as I didn't have a smaller dish available.
3.       Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes before slicing. Store bars in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
I suggest using a no-stir peanut butter variety to prevent the bars from being too oily. If using a peanut butter that features a layer of oil on the top in the jar, I would stir it up very, very well before adding to the recipe.
