Goji cacao energy bars

Cacao nibs are small pieces of cacao beans; most are heated but the recipe keeps them undamaged by heat (look for those labeled raw). They add a rich, dark-chocolate crunch to recipes. To make date paste, mash semisoft, pitted dates, such as medjool, by hand. Dates vary in moisture content, so you may need to add a teaspoon of water if yours don’t hold the dry ingredients together.
