Place the almonds on a baking dish and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool before using.
1 cup raw almonds
In a food processor, combine all the ingredients and pulse until the ingredients start forming a ball, scraping the edges of the bowl to prevent the mixture from sticking.
1 cup dried Medjool dates, 1 cup dried cranberries
Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the mixture out into the pan, and shape it into a large rectangle.
Top with another piece of parchment paper, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
