Carob Date Nut Cubes

This original recipe is from the Dr Fuhrman website.  It works well as a fudge type dessert or a Lara bar replacement.  You can flavor the bars as desired.

Ingredients:

10 oz raw cashews
3 oz raw blanched almonds
1 oz walnuts
1 oz raw sunflower seeds
4 Tablespoons ground flax seeds
14 oz pitted dates
3 oz carob powder
2 tsp vanilla

Optional flavor variations/ingredients:  vanilla, coconut, dried fruits.


Finely chop nuts and seeds in food processor.  Add dates to the processor and finely chop.

Pour mixture into a large bowl and add carob powder.  Hand mix and knead until fully blended.

Pour into 7x11 in pan and press down until level and firm.  Cover with wax paper and refrigerate to cool.  Cut into cubes or bars.

The mix is almost 1:1 nuts/seeds:dates.

You can reserve some nuts to mix in as bigger pieces.

You can add other dried fruits to vary the taste.
