Directions:
Place dates and nuts into food processor and blend until finely ground. Add coconut, pumpkin seeds, goji berries, flaxseed, cacao powder, and chia seeds, pulsing until well blended. If needed, add water a tablespoon at a time, just until mixture holds together when pressed between two fingers.

Scoop mixture into a parchment lined 8x8 square pan and press evenly into the pan with your hands or a flat bottomed glass.

Melt chocolate and spread evenly across the top of the bars. Sprinkle extra seeds, berries, or nuts across the melted chocolate, cover, and chill until set (at least several hours) before cutting.
Makes about 16 squares.
