Sun Bars

Directions

1. 1
   Place the sunflower seeds and walnuts in a food processor and grind until homogeneous; set aside.
2. 2
   Chop the dates into pieces your blender can handle.
3. 3
   In a blender place honey, apple juice, cinnamon, vanilla and chopped dates. Blend until a smooth texture is reached.
4. 4
   In a large mixing bowl combine raisins, and nut mix. Then stir in the date mixture (you may have to use your hands).
5. 5
   When the dough is completely mixed, you can either roll in balls and freeze for later (tastes like cookie dough), or you can shape dough into 2 inch balls, roll in coconut and place on dehydrator sheets. Dry in dehydrator for for 8-10 hours at 125 -130°F.
6. 6
   Another option is to take two 9 x 13-inch glass baking pan and sprinkle 1/2 cup coconut in each pan. Press 1/2 of the dough in each pan, top with remaining coconut and bake in a oven for 2 hours at 150- 200°F.

   If you use an oven, you need to keep an eye on the bars during the last 30 minutes so they don't burn.
