Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup dates, pitted
- 1 cup peanuts, dry-roasted
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Ensure the dates are pitted and the peanuts are dry-roasted for optimal flavor and texture.
- Pulse mixture: Combine the dates and peanuts in a food processor or high-powered blender. Pulse until the mixture sticks together and retains small chunks of peanuts for a good bite and texture.
- Press into pan: Transfer the mixture into a 9×5 loaf pan. Use a piece of wax paper or a spatula to press and smooth the top evenly.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the pressed mixture for about an hour or until firm and set.
- Slice and serve: Remove from the fridge, slice into bars, and enjoy your no-bake peanut butter cookie bars!
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for a sweeter and softer texture.
- Substitute peanuts with other nuts like almonds or cashews for variation.
- For a smoother bar, process the mixture longer but avoid over-processing to maintain some chunks.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Add a pinch of salt or cinnamon for extra flavor if desired.
