Instructions

Soak the dried figs in warm water for 30 minutes to soften. Drain and pat dry.
Blend the figs and almond butter in a blender of food processor to form a sticky paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the puffed millet, seeds, salt, and cinnamon. Stir.
Add the fig paste and mix.
Press into a pan lined with parchment paper (I used an 8×4″ glass dish), and refrigerate.
Melt the chocolate chips. You can add 1 tbsp coconut oil for easier spreading.
Pour the melted chocolate on top of the bars and smooth evenly.
Chill for at least two hours until firm.
Slice into bars and enjoy!
Keep leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 7-10 days.

Notes

*You can substitute other kinds of puffed grains or crispy rice cereal. **Use any mix of nuts or seeds you like, just be sure the total comes to 1 1/4 cup.
