Ingredients
- 1/2 c your favorite nut butter

- 2 Tbsp coconut or canola oil
- 1/2 c dried cranberries, raisins, cherries, or dates

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, stir together nut butter, honey, vanilla and cocoa powder. If mixture seems too thick stir in 2 tsp warm water to thin. Add oats, coconut, flaxseed meal and chocolate chips and stir until evenly coated. At this point if mixture still doesn’t stick well, stir in up to 2 tsp water as needed. Transfer mixture to refrigerator or freezer and chill until nearly set and easier to handle.
