Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by roughly chopping the almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds. If your dates are too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften.
Blend the Dates and Peanut Butter: In a food processor, pulse the dates and peanut butter until they form a sticky, smooth paste.
Combine the Nuts and Seeds: In a large bowl, combine the chopped almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and dried cranberries. Add the date and peanut butter paste to the bowl and mix everything together until evenly distributed.
Form the Bars: Line a baking dish (8x8 inches works great) with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish and press it down firmly with a spoon or your hands to compact the ingredients into a dense, even layer.
Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set. Once firm, cut them into squares or rectangles to your desired size.
Serve and Store: Enjoy the bars as a snack on the go, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
