How to make it
Ensure all nuts are ROASTED! If not, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 320F. Spread the nuts in an even layer on the sheet. Roast for 10-15 minutes, checking frequently. Time and temperature will vary based on ovens.
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine nuts, raisins, and sprinkle with sea salt. Stir well.
In a small food processor, puree dates until they form into a ball.
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and date puree. Stir until combined and bubbles begin to form.
Remove from heat.
Pour mixture over nuts, and stir with heat resistant spatula until well coated.
Spread about half of the mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of chocolate chips and 1 Tbsp of M&Ms.
Add in second half of nut mixture and spread evenly. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips and M&Ms, pressing in gently.
Allow to set and cut into 12 bars.
