  • Macadamia Nut & Date Bars

Yields: 16 bars 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 kg pureed dates 
  • 4 tablespoons tahini 
  • 1 cup chopped salted Hawaii macadamia nuts 
  • 2 cups puffed rice 
  • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds 
  • ¼ cup chia seeds 
  • ½ cup freeze dried raspberries 
  • ½ cup chopped dried apricots 
  • 1-½ cups melted dark chocolate 
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped Hawaii macadamia nuts for topping 

 
Directions: 

  • Warm the pureed dates in the microwave for 2-3 minutes to make them softer and easier to mix. Add in the tahini and puffed rice, mix well to combine. Next, add the Hawaii macadamia nuts, chia and sunflower seeds, raspberries and apricots. Mix everything together until well combined. 
  • Press the mixture into a sheet pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
