Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 100 g dates, pitted and chopped (about 3.5 oz)
  • 150 g oatmeal (about 5.3 oz)
  • 50 g peanuts (about 1.8 oz)
  • 40 g raisins (about 1.4 oz)
  • 30 g sunflower seeds (about 1 oz)
  • 30 g pumpkin seeds (about 1 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 100 g dark chocolate, for drizzling (about 3.5 oz)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by pitting and roughly chopping the dates to make them easier to mix.
  2. In a food processor, combine the chopped dates, oatmeal, peanuts, raisins, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and honey.
  3. Process the mixture until everything is finely chopped and well combined, achieving a sticky, dough-like consistency.
  4. Line a rectangular dish with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  5. Press down the mixture firmly and evenly in the dish, making sure it’s packed tightly.
Drizzling and Setting
  1. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
  2. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the mixture evenly.
  3. Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to set.
  4. Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the mixture out of the dish.
  5. Cut into bars or squares of your desired size.

Notes

These bars can be enjoyed as a quick snack or paired with tea or coffee. Customize by adding cinnamon or nutmeg. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
