Energy Bars

These are fantastic for hikes, bike rides, little bites when running, etc.

What you need:

2 cups crispy almonds.  Look here for how to make soaked crispy nuts.
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup sesame seeds

1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup cocoa powder, raw cacao powder or carob powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons vanilla

Method:

Process almonds in food processor until finely ground.

Add coconut and sesame seeds and process until mixed well.

Melt together honey, your choice of cocoa, cacao or carob powder, salt and vanilla.
Add to mixture in processor and process until well blended.

Sandwich the mixture between greased sheets of parchment paper on a jelly roll pan.  I roll it out with a rolling pin or piece of PVC pipe until it's about 1/4 inch thick.

Refrigerate until firm and then cut into bars.
