How to Make Almond Peanut Butter Bars

Step 1: Process all ingredients together – Put all ingredients (except water) for the almond peanut butter bars in a food processor. Process for several minutes until everything is finely chopped. Add the water and blend again.

Step 2: Press to the bottom of a pan – Press the mixture evenly to the bottom of a pan, lined with parchment paper – I used a 6 x 4 inch (15 x 10 cm) baking pan. You can use the back of a spoon or your fingers to do it.

Step 3: Refrigerate or enjoy right away – Enjoy it right away or place in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm. Lift it out of the pan and cut into 8 pieces.
