Peanut Butter Date Bars

Z loves Larabars for a snack on the go, or when we are traveling, so I thought it would be great to make a home made version. Very simple and very tasty! 

Add 2 cups pitted dates to a food processor and start to process. Once the dates start getting chopped up, add 1 cup peanut butter (we used a natural, crunchy version). Continue to process until there are no large date pieces left and the two ingredients are well blended. You have an option to add in 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips at this point if you desire. 

Press mixture into a 9 x 12 cake pan lined with wax paper and put into the fridge or freezer to set. Once set, cut into squares and store in the fridge or freezer for a tasty snack. Enjoy!
