These are very fun and versatile raw food bars. The cashews can be replaced with any nuts, any dried fruits, coconut, oats, or any combination thereof for endless variations. Just try to maintain the 1:3 ratio and you'll be fine. Originally seen at Bunnyfoot Mostly Vegan blog.

I'm not giving stars in the review, because I think there's a big problem with the ratio. I started to half the recipe by putting 1.5 c cashews in my little processor. I put that in a bowl and did .5 c dates in the processor. There was no way that was going to stick together. I added 2 more cups of dates and that worked fine and looked like the picture posted to the recipe. So that was 2.5 c dates and 1.5 c cashews. I think 1:3 would work, but the 1 should be the cashews.

Wow, this was very good! I didn't want to use that many dates and cashews so I started off with 1 cup cashews and threw in a few dates until it held together. I also threw in a few walnuts. I pressed the mixture into a pan and placed it in the freezer to harden a bit. These hold up better when they are chilled. I will be making these often since I'm eating nothing but RAW Foods. Thanks for sharing!
