Here is how you make Cocoa Cranberry Nut Bars:

If you prefer the taste of toasted oats and nuts, you can toast them in the oven for about 15 mins at 350 . Process the walnuts and pecans in a food processor until they reach the consistency of fine bread crumbs. Set aside.Process the dates until they are dough-like in consistency. Add the nut crumbs and cocoa powder back to the food processor and combine.Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the toasted nuts, oats and cranberries and stir so that it is well mixed and everything is incorporated together.Warm honey and peanut butter over medium heat for a few minutes until it can be poured and pour it over the oat and nut mixture and mix the mixture well.Line a 9x13 dish with parchment paper and transfer mixture to the dish. Press the mixture so that it is an even thickness. Place into freezer for about 20 minutes to allow mixture to harden.Lift bars from the dish and cut them into 12 pieces. Store in fridge as they will get a bit sticky if they are left out at room temperature.Serving Size: 12Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TDEMELO30.
