Cinnamon Raisin Bars

From Detox Guide by Mandy Keillor

Makes 6 bars

Ingredients –

• 3/4 Cup of dates
• 1/4 cup of raisins
• 1/2 cup of almonds
• 1/4 cup of cashews
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions –

Put the dates into a food processor and blend into a coarse, chunky paste.

Add the nuts and blend until coarse – you should still see nut pieces.

Transfer to a bowl and mix in the shredded raisins and cinnamon powder.

Take the mix and press it very tightly in your palm, squeeze it together in a ball until it

sticks, then begin to form it into a roll.

Press onto a baking sheet and form into a bar. Lightly dropping it onto the sheet and turning will help to form a flat surface on each side of the bar. Press the ends gently with the palms of your hands.

Cut into slices. Wrap in plastic and store in the refridgerator until you are ready to eat.

You can use the basic ration of 1 cup of unsweetended dried fruit (dates, raisins, apricots, cherries, etc.) to 3/4 cup of nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds) to create your own flavor base.
