One of the awesome things about my relationship with my boyfriend, Dave, is that we both love to cook! Shortly after we started dating, he made these awesome date and nut bars - and from that moment on, I knew that he was a keeper :)
He hasn't made them in a while, so we decided that it was about time to make some again to share with all of you! They're super simple to make and absolutely delicious!

Date Squares

1 & 1/2 Cups Pitted Medjool Dates (you can add a few extra)
1/2 Cup Sweet, Dried Cranberries
1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut
1/4 Enjoy Life's Semi- Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips
1Tbsp Vanilla Extract
In a food processor, pulse almonds until they become coarse then throw in dates, cranberries, coconut, vanilla extract and pulse until mixed together. Toss in chocolate chips and pulse another 2 or 3 times.
Spoon mixture out onto a flat surface and then, using you hand, flatten gently.
Place in the freezer for about an hour and then cuts into squares

Be sure to keep refrigerated, otherwise, they may lose their form. If you wanted to try something a little different, I'm sure you could shape them into balls as well.
