Spicy Date and Cashew Nut Bars

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by pitting the dates if they are not already pitted. Place the dates in a food processor and blend until they form a sticky paste.

2. 2

   Add the cashew nuts to the food processor and pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture from the nuts.

3. 3

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the chili flakes and stir to combine.

4. 4

   Pour the melted butter and chili mixture into the food processor with the date and cashew mixture. Blend until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

5. 5

   Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish and press it down firmly and evenly.

6. 6

   Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour or until it is firm enough to cut into bars.

7. 7

   Once set, remove from the refrigerator and cut into bars of your desired size. Serve and enjoy your Spicy Date and Cashew Nut Bars.
