Three ingredients – almonds, dates (preferably Medjool) and another dried fruit. I used raisins. But apricots, cherries, even cranberries would be great and give you all sorts of different flavor options! The dates I found at Publix, they have these shelves underneath their produce and I just happened to be looking down. $3.99 for a nice size plastic tub – I was able to make bars 3 different times with that amount and have about 1/2 cup leftover!
Combine the almonds, raisins and dates in a food processor. Pulse a few times to break them up. Process continually for 30 seconds. Scrape the edge of the bowl.
Process continually for 1-2 minutes until a ball is formed. If using chocolate chips, add with about 30 seconds left so they don't get completely chopped up.
Dump mixture into an 8 x 8-inch baking pan and press down firmly to form an even layer. Chill for 1 hour or overnight. Cut into 8 large bars or 16 squares. Keep bars in fridge for a few weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
