No-bake chocolate oat bars! These bars are naturally sweetened with raw dates and still taste just as delicious. This quick and easy recipe is customizable to your own liking! Feel free to add in nuts, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, or any other ingredients that your taste buds enjoy. I finally bought a food processor and it has opened so many doors for new recipes, I hope these bars are just the first of many healthy recipes!

I would like to try these with shredded coconut added
Are the dates processed with the 1/4 c reserved water or with all the water EXCEPT for the 1/4 cup?
