Paleo Nut Bars

Don't get too excited here. I'm just here for a bit to copy a recipe that a friend posted on Facebook, but I knew I'd never find it again unless I put it somewhere I could find...

Bonus for you: Free Recipe

Paleo Nut Bars
1 c slivered almonds
1 c unsweetened coconut
1 c pecans
1/2 walnuts
1/2 c coconut oil
1/2 c nut butter (almond is best)
1/2 c almond meal
2 tbs honey (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c dried fruit and/or cocoa nibs (optional)

toast nuts and coconut
