Peanut Butter & Pretzel Bars

Directions

1. Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan and line it with parchment paper, with the sides overhanging.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, add dates and peanut butter. Process for 15 seconds, until the mixture is smooth. If not smooth, add 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of water.
3. Add lentils, cocoa powder, and honey and process until smooth.
4. Add pretzels and process until no large chunks remain.
5. Scrape mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top until even. If you prefer, press whole pretzels into the surface for garnish.
6. Chill, uncovered for at least 1 hour, then cut into bars.
