Loaded with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, these bars make for a delicious and satisfying on-the-go treat. If you don't think your food processor can handle the dates, you can soak them in water for an hour beforehand to soften them up.
Puree dates in food processor until a thick paste forms. Add cocoa powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla and almond extracts. Pulse until all ingredients are combined. Add the almonds and pecans; pulse until nuts are well incorporated into date mixture. Stir in dried cherries.
Spread large sheet of wax paper on work surface. Transfer date mixture to wax paper, and press mixture into 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. If desired, you can even out the edges by trimming them with a knife. Wrap tightly in wax paper and chill overnight.
Unwrap block and cut into 8 bars. Sprinkle with a bit of sea salt (if using). Re-wrap each bar in wax paper and refrigerate leftovers in an air-tight container.
