Dark chocolate, dried fruit, and nuts bars

Or .... Cherry fig nut bars.

I made these this weekend. Thought I'd share the yummyness.
As Jacques Pepin says, "A recipe is but a moment in time," .... so alter and adapt as you wish.

1C of oven toasted nuts - half macadamia, half blanched almonds
10 figs
1/4 C dried cherries
1/4 C coconut flakes
1T almond butter
1T raw honey
4T coconut oil
1 C dark chocolate

Pulse nuts, figs, cherries, and coconut into a sticky mash in ninja bowl or other such sharp bladed bowl mixer.
Melt almond butter, honey, and coconut oil and pulse it in until the nuts and all hold together when you pinch it.
Press into a pan (I've used both 8x8 and 8x10) and refrigerate till hard -- about an hour.
Melt chocolate and spread over the top.
Refrigerate again until hard.
Cut into 1" squares.

I think they are so good. Hope you do, too.
Is there a recipe thread for paleo ideas on here that I am missing?
