Homemade Choco-Cherry Lara Bars

Homemade Choco-Cherry Lara Bars
Recipe from Enlightenedcooking.blogspot.com


1/4 cup chopped dates (roughly chopped whole fresh dates; see my note about pre-chopped below)
1/4 cup dried cherries or dried cranberries
1/3 cup whole pecans, almonds or walnuts
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Set out two pieces of plastic wrap for shaping and wrapping the bars. Place the dates and cherries in a food processor. Pulse until processed to a paste. Spoon into a bowl (you do not need to clean your food processor). Add the nuts to the processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the nuts, along with the cinnamon and chocolate chips to the bowl with the fruit paste. Use your fingers to knead the nuts into the paste.
Divide mixture in half. Place each half on each of one of the sheets of plastic wrap and shape into a bar. Tightly wrap the plastic around each bar and store in refrigerator.
