Liar Bars

These are from Nom Nom Paleo, they are fake Larabars.  My family & I devour them!  A great dessert option, very sweet w/a nice salty kick.

1 cup coconut flakes, toasted (on stove-top or oven)
1/3 cup macadamia nuts (especially yummy for this recipe if salted)
10 Medjool dates (I tried knock-off dates from Freddy's & they're not the same, get Medjool)

- crush nuts in food processor until grainy (but not nut butter!)
- take nuts out and put in dates, process until they are a sticky ball or pile of date guts
- add the toasted coconut (once it's cooled down) to the date pile & process them together to blend (don't pulverize). you should be able to pinch it together & have it stick
- add the date/coconut blend to the nuts & mix up (I have to use my hands)
- roll into a ball & put between parchment paper or a nonstick pan & roll them out into a thin sheet (about 1/2 inch) and cut up into bars. i have to chill in fridge a little to firm them up

Enjoy!
