Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of your food processor and blend until the nuts are well chopped and a thick "dough" starts to form, about 3-5 minutes of processing.
• When the ingredients are well incorporated, remove the blade from the food processor. Take 1 large tablespoon of the "dough" and roll it into a ball in between your hands. Repeat with remaining dough. Keep the balls in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer much longer.

CHERRY PIE LARABAR

Steps:

• Using a good chopping knife, begin to coarsely chop your piles of nuts, cherries and dates.
• The dates will be very sticky, but just do you best to slice, and then cube them up.
• Combine your piles and chop together.
• It will be pretty rough at first, but just keep chopping and the ingredients will begin to combine and stick to each other.
• Once the ingredients begin to stick together, use your knife to squish it into a single mass.
• Chop up that mass and repeat.
• The mass will continue to hold together better, and eventually your chopping will be more like taking slices off of the mass.
• If at this point you feel your mix is still too dry, try adding another date.
• Continue on until the mass reliably sticks together.
• At that point, you will be able to knead it a couple of times using your hands.
• Just fold it over on its self and mush down.
• It will be a little sticky, but not too much.
• Press it into a rectangular shape about 3/4″ high.
• Using a clean knife, cut the mass into bars.
• They can be wrapped in plastic wrap for later use.
