Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Mejdool Dates ((grounded))
  • ¾ Cup Mixed Nuts ((Chopped, I used walnuts, cashews, almonds and pistachios))
  • 1 Tbsp Butter ((Or clarified butter, also known as ghee))
  • a pinch Salt ((Optional but tastes so good here))

Directions

  1. 1

    Lightly roast all the chopped nuts for 2-3 minutes on medium flame.

  2. 2

    Now add grounded dates in the pan and add in a tablespoon of butter.

  3. 3

    Stir and mix dates with nuts for another 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat. Or till all the nuts are coated in dates paste.

  4. 4

    Invert the mixture in a parchment or foil lined square/rectangle pan. Press it using a spatula/back of a spoon or with your hands to set the mixture, covering whole pan. Garnish with a few chunks of nuts like- almond, cashews and pistachio halves or walnuts etc (optional but pretty!).

  5. 5

    Cover the pan and allow to set in the refrigerator for 2 hours minimum. QUICK TIP: To speed up this process freeze the bars for 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Cut using a sharp knife. Left overs can be saved at room temp. or in the refrigerator (Covered at all times).
