How to make these fabulous Chocolate Gingersnap Bars?
First, grab your spices and measure them into a small dish.
Mix the spices all together, then set aside.
In your food processor bowl, place pitted dates, cacao powder, and melted coconut oil. Process for 1-2 minutes or until dates have a smooth texture.
Now add the hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, pecans and the spice mix.
Pulse until everything is well combined but be sure to leave some texture! Those chunky bits are great.
Pour the mixture into a lined 8X8 pan.
Press firmly with your fingertips to compact the bar mixture to about ¾ inch. Place in the freezer for an hour.
Remove from the freezer and cut up your lovely bars!! Don't they look just amazing??!!!
