If dates are not sticky and moist soak for 10 minutes then drain before processing.", "", "Place oats, almonds and dates, cacao, chia, fruit in a bowl - set aside.", "Warm honey, salt and almond butter in a small saucepan over low heat.", "Stir and pour over oat mixture and then mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout.", "", "Once thoroughly mixed, transfer to an 8x8 dish or other small pan lined with parchment paper or waxed paper so they lift out easily.
