A Toast To Your Health (Seedy Date Bars)

The seedy date bars are clearly geared to be health food. No processed sugar, and lots of different seeds hold together by pureed fruit. They almost look like they would be part of the raw food movement, except that the seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, flax, and chia) are toasted.

The sticky glue holding them together is a mixture of dates and apricots. I actually had less trouble getting the mass out of the food processor than the recipe warned, so yay. Shape into a mass, then chill for a couple of hours and voila, something you'd pay at least $3 a bar for at a health food store.

These are fairly fragile, so don't try to take them on the road. They'll crumble all over the place.

Difficultly Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? I'm kind of on the fence with these. They're pretty good for what they are, which is the faint praise that damns so many health foods.
